Top Ten Best Books I Read in 2024

Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl, was listed as the Top Ten Best Books I Read in 2024. A few of them were re-reads but I'm including them anyways: there's a reason why they were good enough to re-read in the first place. I've linked my favorite titles of the year to my reviews.

1. The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith

2. The Call of the Wild by Jack London

3. Black Woods Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey

4. Forging Silver into Stars by Brigid Kemmerer

5. The Unidentified by Colin Dickey

6. Spare by Prince Harry

7. A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

8. What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher

9. The Abominable by Dan Simmons

10. The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty

What was your favorite book of the year?

    Ooh nice ones! Some new to me ones but I did read Brigid Kemmerer's book, might have been the previous year or whenever it came out as I know she focused on the rest of her one trilogy and this year we get the next book to this series!

    Thanks for visiting my TTT!

    What a great list! I love T. Kingfisher. I also really enjoyed The Abominable, Dan Simmons is a great storyteller who really knows how to set a scene. I read A Darker Shade of Magic years ago, but really enjoyed it!

      I sometimes think Dan Simmons is underrated. He really is good.

You'd have a swimming buddy for life, and someone to feed your enemies to...) Do you have any favorite animal characters?

The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to ...

Top Ten Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

Today's Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by ThatArtsyReaderGirl , is all about Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I've been a lifelong avid reader, but I was always that student that once a story was assigned, I was unlikely to want to read it. Like accidental reverse psychology, I can count on one hand the number of books assigned that I actually liked... three of which made today's list. 1. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck - I've read 2 Steinbeck novels, this one, and The Red Pony  and I hated them both. I don't get the fascination with him. 2. Animal Farm by George Orwell - This is about communist pigs, if you like that sort of thing which I didn't. 3. The Outsiders by SE Hinton - I know a lot of people absolutely love this book, I'm just not one of them. 4. The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings - I was too young to be reading a story this upsetting. 5. Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls - This was also upsetting. 6. The Eye in the Door by Pat ...
