Books of 2024

This is a list of the books I’ve read throughout 2024. I usually set a target of 52, so one a week but quite happy to see where it goes.

I’ve decided to stop using Goodreads as I’m cutting down on all my social media use and just going back to blogging for me and anyone who wants to read these little streams of consciousness.

I’ll list each book with it’s star rating and I’ll link it to the review on this site if it has one. This will be done with the most recent being at the top of the list.

I’ll start a list like this for each year from now on as well.
