One of my bookish goals this year was to go through my books and eliminate those books I didn‘t care for or those that I am never going to read… this bag is the first of that endeavor!

Scochrane26 I see a copy of Good Omens ❤️ 9h
Born.A.Reader I did this as well! More space for those I know I'll read or favorites I have read! 💕 2h

The Library: A Fragile History | Andrew Pettegree, Arthur der Weduwen
Pickpick

Immensely detailed and comprehensive. If you‘re interested in the topic then you will enjoy this book. It can be quite dry and suffers from a disinterest in pacing. It‘s clear that the authors did an enormous amount of research and want to share it all

#top24of24

Here are my favourites of this year - probably quite similar to a lot of other Littens‘ lists! 🤪 There‘s a fair few from prize lists and, of course, many recommended (or even gifted) by Litsy friends.

I think the top 17/18 were easy but there were a few vying for those last few spots. Those that just missed out included Lula Dean, The Wedding People, Wolf at the Table, The Collected Regrets of Clover and Notes on an Execution.

kspenmoll So many for me to read! Thanks! 4w
ChaoticMissAdventures Greta and Margo are real stand outs this year! I loved them both. I am reading Martyr! now and cannot make myself make a best of list yet. What if I read my favorite book ever this week? 😂 4w
AmyG Love your list! It showed me all the books I still need to read! 🤣😳 4w

AmyG @ChaoticMissAdventures Ha! That is SO true. Last year I read North Woods at the very end of the year and waited until 1/1 to finish it. It was one of may most favorite books of 2024 but I didn‘t want to screw up my 2023 picks. 🤣 4w
ChaoticMissAdventures @AmyG this is so relatable!! 4w
squirrelbrain I was a bit worried about that @ChaoticMissAdventures but, although I‘m enjoying the 4 😳 books I‘m reading now, none of them are ‘best of‘ material. However, I‘ll bear your trick in mind @AmyG 🤪 4w
TrishB We have 6 the same currently! Off to look at some and some where on my list last year 😁 4w
BarbaraBB Such an incredible list! I didn‘t realize we had SUCH a similar taste. I must read the ones I haven‘t yet! 💝 4w
squirrelbrain 6 the same isn‘t bad going! @TrishB 4w
squirrelbrain I think we have very similar taste @BarbaraBB - and we learn off each other about the best books all the time! 4w
TrishB I‘ve put another 5 on my to buy list! I have a big list for after Christmas 😁 always good to have one ready. 4w
Caroline2 A great looking list. Plenty on here for my tbr list. 👍 4w
Centique Wonderful list! And im so glad to see someone else loving Greta and Valdin. 💕 4w
youneverarrived Fab list 🤍 a few of these will be on my list too. And quite a few are on the tbr. 4w
Megabooks Fantastic list!! 3w
sarahbarnes This is such a good list! Many similarities for sure. And Stone Yard Devotional and The Echoes are high on my TBR! 3w
Suet624 Still trying to find The Echoes. A number of the books on your list would be on my list too if I ever pulled it together to make a list. 2w
squirrelbrain Is The Echoes not published over there yet? @Suet624 1w
Suet624 I can pre-order it but I‘m really hoping that my library will order it. Push comes to shove I‘ll buy it eventually. 1w
squirrelbrain Can you request that your library orders it? @Suet624 Hopefully you‘ll get hold of it soon! 🤞 1w

This is my #top24of24! I was a bit stingier with the 5⭐️ this year, and only 8 received that (upper left quadrant plus Dead Bastards and Cue the Sun in bottom right). The rest are 4.75⭐️ and 4.5⭐️. Nine of these are nonfiction, which is about normal and pretty close to my reading NF/F split. Can‘t wait to see even more of these as the year winds up! 👏🏻📚

squirrelbrain Great list! ❤️ 1mo
MallenNC I really liked Margot, Small and the Mighty, and The Husbands. The only other one I‘ve read is The Wedding People, which I liked but the audiobook didn‘t completely work for me. I think I should have read it. I still need to get to James and Cue the Sun. They‘ve been on my TBR. (edited) 1mo
Deblovestoread Fantastic list! Screenshot for TBR explosion 📚 1mo

AmyG I still have a few of these to read. Great list…..but then, I expect nothing less. 🙌🏻 Ha! Yes @Deblovestoread (edited) 1mo
Suet624 Screenshot!! Thanks for putting your list together. 1mo
BarbaraBB I am happy to see the Piñeiro here and am I now extra looking forward to The Wedding People and Playground and Model Home. The ones I haven‘t heard of I need to check out. Great list Meg, screenshotting! 1mo
Chelsea.Poole As always, I love your list and we are pretty much in sync! Several you have here will make my list and the ones I haven‘t read I‘m already on hold for 👯‍♀️ will soon start Wedding People, loved Keanu and on hold for 1mo
Chelsea.Poole Ooh and LOVED The Husbands and Margo…not as familiar with the Widows, need to fix that apparently! 1mo
Megabooks @MallenNC Both were great. Cue the Sun was especially interesting for me because I always have reality TV on in the background during the day. I just kind of let it run. Right now I've got on Teen Mom: Next Chapter. My reading taste is definitely more refined than my TV! 1mo
Megabooks @Deblovestoread Yay! Enjoy! 1mo
Megabooks @AmyG Thank you! 1mo
Megabooks @Suet624 Awesome! Hope you find one you like. 1mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB Yes, thank you so much for A Little Luck! It was really fantastic! I hope you like Wedding People. So serendipitous that it was on the ToB short list! 1mo
Megabooks @Chelsea.Poole I think you'll love Widow's! By far the best memoir I read this year. Heat was interesting reading in concert with my Bourdain year because the author originally went viral with an indictment of Mario Batali and his being called out in #MeToo. Bourdain disavowed him publicly despite their long friendship. They also shared an assistant who has a memoir coming out in April! Exciting! 1mo
BarbaraBB I think you have a sixth sense for that. Are you feeling better yet? 🩷 1mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB Maybe, but I was surprised by that one! I am feeling a bit better. I'll write you and Cindy soon. 💜 💜 1mo
Centique Oooh what s good list. It will take me ages but ill get to some of these! Im reading Wedding People right now and loving it! 1mo
BarbaraBB 🤍🤍 1mo
youneverarrived So many on my tbr 💜 1mo
Megabooks @Centique thanks Paula! That‘s such an enjoyable book. I loved (and rooted for) those characters. 1mo
Megabooks @youneverarrived fantastic!! I always love seeing what you‘re reading. 1mo

Just two weeks until the end of the year, it‘s time for our tradition to share our #Top24of24.

This is mine so far. And yes, if you look good it are actually 25 books 😉.

I‘ll tag a few people to get things started, please share your favorites and tag a few more 💝

Soubhiville I‘ve been thinking about what may have made my list 🙂. Looking forward to compiling it! 1mo
Soubhiville I also loved the warehouse! So many on here I want to read. These end of year lists always build my TBR up! 1mo
Vansa I should do this too! This is motivational! 1mo

BarbaraBB @Soubhiville @Vansa Can‘t wait for yours! Like you said, so good (or bad?!) for our TBR! 1mo
BarbaraBB @Soubhiville The Warehouse has been so underrated, I hope many more people will read it! 1mo
Suet624 So many great reads here!!! Now I have to make note of the ones I haven't read so I can scour the Vermont libraries for them. Delighted to see how many of them we share as top reads of the year. 1mo
sarahbarnes So many good ones here! And some I haven‘t read and want to especially knowing they made your favorites list. ♥️ I will definitely be making my list soon! 1mo
sarahbarnes I loved Safekeep, Pew, Sorrow and Bliss, and All Fours. I have History of Sound in my stack right now. I‘m going to stack Warehouse now. And some of these are already on my TBR! I‘m really excited to read that Everett one of these days! 1mo
BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes @Suet624 We have been so in sync this past year, I am super excited to both your lists to see which of your favorites I have missed! 1mo
AmyG Great list. 1mo
Bookwormjillk I am still delusional enough to think I am going to finish the 25 unread books from my December TBR in the next two weeks. I'll get back to you 😂 1mo
Librarybelle Great list. I think I need to screenshot this to put some of these on my tbr list (if they‘re not already!). Thanks for the tag. I‘ll have to think about this for a bit and then post! 1mo
BarbaraBB @Bookwormjillk 🙌🏽 I hope you‘ll share yours too after finishing those 25 😊 1mo
BarbaraBB @AmyG Thanks. I hope you‘ll share yours too! 1mo
Megabooks Great list, and I‘m really happy to see two gifts from me on there!! 💜💜 i haven‘t gotten to Cherry Blossoms yet from Hooper, so I‘ll have to move that up. 💯💯 screenshotted this! 1mo
Deblovestoread Not surprised to see some of my favorites are yours as well. Some I need to move to the top and some new to me that I need to check out. Fantastic list! 1mo
BarbaraBB @Megabooks Many others were recommended by you 🩷. Are you feeling my better? 1mo
AmyG I will eventually get around to sharing mine. 🤣 1mo
BarbaraBB @Deblovestoread I‘ll feel the same about your lists I‘m sure. I hope you‘ll share it too! (edited) 1mo
squirrelbrain Some of these will be on my list, and some were on last year‘s list I think! ☺️ I‘ll have a look at mine over the weekend, if I get chance! 1mo
BarbaraBB @AmyG 😀😀 1mo
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain I hope so but Gin comes first I guess, at the end of the year 😉😘 1mo
Ruthiella Thanks for the tag! 1mo
youneverarrived Thanks for the tag 😘 a few here I really want to read! 1mo
squirrelbrain You make me sound like I‘m doing nothing but *drinking* gin! 🤪 Hmmmm, maybe I should consider it. 🤔 1mo
Suet624 Oh, and I just got my copy of The View on the Way Down from a Kentucky library (go figure) and The Warehouse is waiting for me at the local library. Excited to read both of them. 1mo
BarbaraBB @Suet624 The pressure 😱😊 1mo
Cathythoughts Great choices Barbara. I loved The Safekeep and Pet too. Reading Is Mother Dead at the moment, really good. 😊 1mo
BkClubCare Fun!🤩 what is the Percival Everett? I don‘t recognize that cover 1mo
Hooked_on_books Great list! Only you accidentally put All Fours on there, so if you fix that error, then you‘ll be at 24. 😉 I expect The History of Sound to be on my list and Black Butterflies was a favorite for me last year. And I‘m thrilled to see The Warehouse! I‘ll definitely be making a list but waiting until the true end of the year. I always worry I‘ll read something amazing and wish I had included it. 😬 1mo
BarbaraBB @BkClubCare It‘s an oldie but real good 1mo
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books 😂😂 All Fours! I may make changes of if I am reading another 5⭐️ before the end of the year! 1mo
BarbaraBB @Cathythoughts I am looking forward to your thoughts. I will be reading her newest soon 1mo
BkClubCare @BarbaraBB - you had me searching non-US covers for all his books! Ty 1mo
CarolynM Interesting choices! I‘m not sure if I‘ve read enough to have 24 books that deserve the recognition, but we‘ll see😆 1mo
TrishB Having a look at mine at the moment! But I‘m nowhere near 24 🤷‍♀️ 1mo
BarbaraBB @TrishB No 24 good reads? You read so much!! 1mo
Chelsea.Poole Thanks for getting the ball rolling on this! Isn‘t it satisfying to see all the year‘s best reads in one place? ☺️ 1mo
BarbaraBB @Chelsea.Poole I love this time of year even though it messes with my TBR. Can‘t wait for your list! 1mo
TrishB I have 17 so far on the best of list and then a lot just below that! We have 2 the same this year!. Though some of yours would appear on my previous years. One of yours would also be the worst book I read this year 😉 I‘m with @Hooked_on_books 1mo
BarbaraBB @TrishB Hahaha it‘s definitely a love or hate book 😂😂 1mo
Centique Oh i love this time of the year! Awesome list and i know i will like so many of them because we often like the same books. I loved Sorrow and Bliss too. Adding lots of these to my TBR 😍 1mo
BarbaraBB @Centique Yes we do love many of the same books. I hope you will post your favorites too! 1mo

Today is my birthday (61st it's hard to believe), so of course I had to go buy some books for my ever growing, slightly groaning TBR shelves. I liked Blake Crouch's Upgrade, and I already have Dark Matter, Stardust is the only book by Neil Gaiman that I haven't read (I tried watching the movie and stopped 30 minutes into it), and Dreadful just sounded like a fun book.

Bit of a rainy day but the Brooklyn Book Festival is on!

Great as always, even in the rain. Came home with 5 new books for the TBR pile!

Despite what my girlfriend would say, going to the used bookstore and only purchasing 4 books shows an enormous amount of restraint on my part. I could have easily walked out with a dozen, but I have to wait until I purchase a new bookcase because I've about reached the limit with my current set up.
