A great big list of everything I have read (so far) in 2024.
I love to read.
Reading makes me happy.
Sometimes I choose the popular books, sometimes it’s something on sale, and sometimes it’s just completely random. I mostly read thrillers and romance with a few other genres thrown in every now and then. I do love a good personal growth book too.
I’m a big Audible girlie. Audible has drastically impacted how much I read each year. I listen to books in the car, when I’m walking the dogs, when I’m folding laundry, and everywhere in between. I also typically have a second book going in my Kindle App on my phone.
But at the end of the day, I read for fun, I read for escape, and I read as a hobby.
For me, reading is one of my favorite things.

Also, did you know that you can read free books each month with Amazon Prime?! I wish I realized this years ago, but I’ve read 19 books FOR FREE THIS YEAR because it’s included in my Prime membership!! If you’re not already a member, here’s a FREE TRIAL for ya!
And if you’re a Kindle fan, then you should definitely check out Kindle Unlimited…you can save so much money!!
My rating system is pretty simple. I rate books based on how they make me feel. I’m not judging how well written they are (I mean, who am I to say ?!) or what everyone on BookTok says.
Books I’ve Read in 2024
Without further ado, here are all the books I’ve read so far in 2024.
5 Star Reads
Five Star books are books that stay with me, books that I can actually remember a few months later, and books that actually made me feel something. They keep me on the edge of my seat, make me fall in love with the characters, laugh out loud, or just want to talk about them to everyone I know!
