Great Books Read in 2024

One thing I love about reading dozens, if not hundreds, of books each calendar year is getting to reflect on all the wonderful titles I’ve held in my hands (or ears, for Libro.fm audiobooks). Even just looking back at the lists of what I’ve read brings up such warm-fuzzy memories of the journeys authors took me through.

Here are standout books from my 2024 reading.
