2024: A Year In Books. What are my top 5 books of the year

I am happy to report that I met my Goodreads Reading goal this year. I set a goal for 30 books and I read 31 books.

Here are my selections for 2024:

What were my top 5 favorite books that I read this past year?

  1. The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley (one of the winners of 2024 Goodreads Choice Awards)
  2. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
  3. You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith
  4. Becoming by Michelle Obama
  5. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

I am trying to decide if I will make my goal bigger for 2025. I might bump it up to 35. That is what I am thinking. If I bump it up, I might have to stop watching TV in bed before I go to sleep. We will see, maybe skipping TV before bed would be for the best.

I do think that 35 would be a stretch but I think that I will do it anyway. Here’s to 2025 and 35 books!

Last year I met my goal too. In 2023, I aimed for 25 books and I read 27.

Do you have a reading goal for 2025?
