The Books of 2024
This year, I made a promise that I would only review books on here that I really loved or would highly recommend. That means there aren’t quite as many reviews as I would like. With that being said, I feel like I need to prove to you all that I’m actually reading. Thus, once a month, I’ll come and update my books of 2024!
As a friendly reminder, just because I did not care for a book does not mean that it’s a bad book! We all have different taste, so look into the books more if they sound interesting to you. Clearly, they sounded interesting to me too.
