2024 Book RoundUp


This year hasn't been my worst year in terms of numbers. That award goes to 2023 with 55 books. This year I had 81 books read (or listened to) including two re-reads on my birthday. Unfortunately, I have 24 reviews to write, so you'll see many without links for now. Eeek! I'm hoping to whittle that number down in the next few days or so. 

2024 has been another year to remember and not in a good way. Early in the year I discovered some shit about my husband and decided enough was enough. Though he didn't know that until October when things came to a head and I kicked him out. 

Anyway, 81. Not as bad a year as I thought I would have only because I started listening to audiobooks from Chirp when driving my son to and from work. About 45 minutes a day (M-F and some Saturdays) when I'm alone in the car. 

33 audiobooks
35 tour books (mostly BBNYA & The Write Reads)
3 from Red Adept Publishing. I miss you, RAP! 
I intend to catch up on my RAP backlog in 2025.

It's been a pretty good year in terms of quality, 
with 55 of the 81 rated 4 bites or above.

5 bites ~ 10
4 bites and a nibble ~ 25
4 bites ~ 20

I've re-read Darkness Dawns on my birthday for many years. 
This year I decided to re-read The Lasaran, Book 1 of the sister series, too. 
Maybe for 2024 I'll re-read the 2nd books.
