Romance was still my top genre, but I definitely branched out into some new genres. Here are some of my favorites of the year:
Do we share any favorites? What books are you looking forward to in 2025?
You had a great year! Several on your list that I want to try. The only one I've read so far is the Liane Moriarty book and I like that one. It was definitely different. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, that book was so wonderful!
DeleteI can't believe we actually have a favorite in common this year - Fate Be Changed! And The Last Lifeboat was on my favorites list last year!
ReplyDeleteIt had to happen eventually!
DeleteFantastic wrap-up, Michele! I also enjoyed The Familiar!
ReplyDeleteyay! thank you!
DeleteLooks like you had a great reading year! Butcher and Blackbird made my favorite list as well! And I'm still looking forward to reading Lights Out and The Unmaking of June Farrow.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea what to expect with B&B but i ending up loving it!
DeleteI am always so impressed by the amount of books you read. I love that 8 were MG books - one of my favorite genres. You have some "favorite" books that I still need to read, especially The Last Life Boat.
ReplyDeleteI think you will love The Last Life Boat! I have really enjoyed getting into Middle Grades now that my daughter is getting older.
DeleteCongrats on reading 266 books! That's impressive. I'm glad you found some good ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGreat job! I am sure my top genre was romance as well. I adored both Fangirl Down and Ready of Not.
