Finally wrapped my 2024 Reading!
It was a good year for books, with a personal record of 151 Read. That got a 34 book boost from my adventures in Juvenile Fiction & Graphic Novels both with and without my children. It’s a been a joy to discover all the great chapter books for kids that have been written in the past 25 years 
Without the kid boost I read 117 books which is around my usual thanks to my listening to 2x crazy.
The kid books also boosted my average rating since at lot less can be bothersome in 100 pages, and they stay on the delightful side of life.
See the yellow the squares for the standouts, and purple for series that are great. Lots of other greatness not circled though depending on what you’re in the mood for.
And if you read any this year let me know what you thought!

2025 Reading Goals
- Conquer some TBR beasts, over 15 hours I tend to shy away. I’ve been delaying my Covenant of Water hold since April, it’s 31 hours…
- Revisit some classics and classics I never read, in the past these have been too tricky to listen to with their huge casts and rich details, some may work though.
- Continue reading great Juvenile, Middle Grade, and YA books to support my volunteering at our elementary library. It really is nice to read something great but wholesome after a creepy thriller.
- Be better about sharing my favorites each month, and putting more thought into my blurbs, so I can remember each better.
