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?
- The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley (one of the winners of 2024 Goodreads Choice Awards)
- All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
- You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith
- Becoming by Michelle Obama
- 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.
