Before the end of the year, I wanted to catch up everyone with all the books I read in 2024. The total comes to 58.
Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
A retired tennis legend decides to come out of retirement to prevent a younger current player from taking her record. I loved it.
Pictures of You by Caroline Leavitt
Two women trying to escape their lives collide and one is killed. The one who survived is left with picking up the pieces of both of their lives. Good book – it kept my interest.
The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young
I bit supernatural, this book is about a woman trying to break the family curse. It bent my mind.
The Most Fun We Ever Had by Claire Lombardo
Forty years of a family’s story is told in flashbacks after a hidden member of the family is introduced. It was very good.
After You by Jojo Moyes
I reread this book, because it’s been years since I read the first one and I wanted to read the third. After the death of Will, the quadriplegic man she had cared for, literally and emotionally, Louisa tries to go on with her life, as Will had encouraged. I liked it.
Still Me by Jojo Moyes
Is the big move to the US the right one for Louisa? Will her long distance relationship with Sam survive? In the last installment of the trilogy, we find out. It was good.
The Medicine Woman of Galveston by Amanda Skanendore
A young, female physician faces hardships at the turn of the century. She joins a traveling medicine show to support her son. I wanted to read it because it looked like it was about #mybelovedG. Galveston didn’t come in until about the last third of the book, but it came in with a bang. It was really good.
The Collected Schizophrenias by Esme Weijun Wang
The book is a collection of essays about the author’s experience in having schizophrenia. It was interesting to read.
Summers at the Saint by Mary Kay Andrews
A widow running the family hotel faces losing it to her conniving brother-in-law. There’s murder; there’s romance; there’s mystery. I enjoyed reading it.
I’m not sure which book I’d say was my favorite of all the ones I read in 2024. Let me have a think, and I’ll get back to you.
MK out.
