As always, I am stuck in the past...
But it's fun to see if I recognize any of NYT's "100 Notable Books of 2024".
Thank you for the gift link @Chelsea.Poole - I love a list, although it‘s not good for my TBR!
Lots of the non-fiction I‘d never even heard of…. 🤔
And I‘m only part-way through two of these, Someone Like Us from the #ToBlonglist and Language City.
Oh wow only 3!! Lots on my TBR though.
This is the New York Times notable list of 100 books (fiction and non-fiction). Link in the comments.
Thanks for the link @Chelsea.Poole to the NYT Notable Books of the Year.
So many I haven‘t even heard of, while I‘ve been thinking I‘m on top of things 😂
I‘ve read just these twelve (to be honest, one of them I am still reading!) and have five more sitting on my shelves. I had more books in common with the NPR Books We Love-list!
I‘ve read 21 from the New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2024 so far. I‘m hoping to add a few more to this graphic before the end of the year. Interested? I‘ll put the link in the comments below.
Wow this list is very different from others I have seen. I have only read 7, but I have 5 more at home waiting for me.
I cannot wait to really go through this there are so many I didn't know and my TBR is going to explode.

NYTBR came out with their Readers Choice list of the 100 best books of the 21st century, and this feels much more in line with what books people actually read. I have a problem with calling a list “the best” when it includes so many obscure selections (how can they be the best when hardly anyone has read them outside academia/publishing?). The original list I only had read 9 from, but this list I have read 53/100! Just in the top ten I‘ve read 7!
