This was not a very good year on many levels - not bad, just not very good. I read a decent amount, but my ratings were very indicative of my enjoyment - averaging a 3.16 for the year. On the positive side, a "3" really isn't that bad. It's actually "just okay" in my book. However, I would like to read more 4 star books this coming year. My main goal is to read even more books off my shelves. I did pretty good this year and hope to continue that trend. Let's just hope I discover more 4 star and up books hidden there! :)
These are my Best Reads that I rated 4/5 and up this year:
1. Ballad of Sophie (Melo & Cavia) ~ graphic novel, 4.25/5
2. Finding Me (Davis) ~ memoir, 4/5
3. Daisy Jones and The Six (Reid) ~ fiction, 4.25/5
4. Then She Was Gone (Jewell) ~ thriller, 4/5
5. I'm Glad My Mom Died (McCurdy) ~ memoir, 4/5
6. The Whispers (Audrain) ~ fiction, 4/5
7. Bath Haus (Vernon) ~ thriller, 4.25/5
I keep hearing good things about I'm Glad My Mom Died. I saw an interview with the author that makes me want to read it even more, so I might have to pick that one up. I do hope to read Finding Me this year. I hope 2024 will be a better year for you, Joy! Have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWell hello there! Oh my goodness, it was so nice of you to comment! :) I frequent YouTube now, so I don't get around to blogs anymore, but obviously still keep my blog up-to-date. How are you? If I remember correctly, you have a little girl. She must be close to 10 maybe??? Wow. Time flies.
DeleteAs you read above, my reading has only been satisfactory. I hope yours has been better. I'm really looking forward to the books I have chosen as "Must Reads" for 2024. I'm hoping for 4s and up! May your reading year be filled with fabulous books, too! :)
