It’s that time of the year where I share all the books I’ve read over the course of the year. I always try and read more than I read the year before. This year I set myself a challenge to read 70 books – after reading 78 last year. I actually read quite a few more than my target which really surprised me. I finished the year on 87 books!
So here are all the books I’ve read in 2024:
1 – Evie Woods – The Lost Bookshop
This was a lovely book to start the year. It was my book club choice for the month and I really loved how the story came together at the end. With three main characters, and a story that spanned hundreds of years, it was full of literature, history and magic. A great mix that worked so well. I really enjoyed it.
2 – Lisa Jewell – The Family Remains
This is the long awaited sequel to The Family Upstairs and I really enjoyed it but I did have to read an online synopsis of the first book to refresh myself about what happened and who all the characters were. This was a great follow on and it was really interesting to see how the characters had grown and developed in the years since the first book.
3 – Golden Child – Claire Adam
This book was horrendous. A story of child abuse, sexual assault, poverty, all set in rural Trinidad. It was basically about a family choosing one child over another and the awful things that happened to the less valued one. I wish I hadn’t read it and couldn’t recommend it to anyone.
4-7 – The Smythe-Smith Quartet books – Julia Quinn
This series of four books was another great series by Julia Quinn. Set in the Bridgerton times, they are all set around the Smythe-Smith musicale, an annual event in the Bridgerton world. I loved how all the characters developed through the books and really enjoyed four fresh, new love stories although some of the relationships shared similarities with other Julia Quinn books I’ve read. Still, easy to read and enjoyable.
8 – Emma O’Donoghue – The Wonder
From the writer of Room, such a great but harrowing novel, The Wonder is so well written and hard to put down yet it’s such a tragic story. About a girl that hasn’t eaten in four months and is apparently subsisting on God’s will alone, it’s about olden days in rural Ireland, the Catholic belief system and the hazy line between medicine and prayer. It was eye opening but pretty awful, yet it did have a happy ending of sorts.
9 – The Binding – Bridget Collins
This book was so well written and such a different idea for a book to anything I have read before. But, having said that, the story was quite hard hitting. About what people are comfortable with remembering, what they’d like to forget and what aspects of life they can live with – and what they can’t. It was quite a worrying story – if it was actually real – and I could imagine it happening which gave the story so much more depth. I loved reading it despite how dark it was in places.
This was a great story that kept me guessing until the end. I wasn’t very happy with the ending, it seemed like we were blindsided just for the sake of a good twist at the end, and one that didn’t really fit with the characters or story. But, I loved seeing the story unfold and the characters develop. A great whodunnit.
This was a book choice for our book club and I found it really slow going – until the last third where it suddenly ramped up and had every single plot line thrown in for good measure. Child abuse, drugs, underage sex and teen pregnancy, fires, kidnap, robbery and poisoning! Honestly, it was such a WTAF ending to a book that I couldn’t help but keep reading. It wasn’t my favourite book, I don’t think it was that well written, but I really liked the characters and didn’t find it unenjoyable.
12 – The Windsor Knot – S J Bennett
This was a great whodunnit based around the Queen, her family and the royal residences. Because it was based around famous people, and yet completely fictional, I found it really hard to immerse myself in the story. For me, it left the book lacking – as I knew it wasn’t real. But, if you can get past that then it would be a really nice murder mystery to read.
13 – Remarkably Bright Creatures – Shelby Van Pelt
This was such a different book and one I only read for our book club – but I’m so glad I read it! Such lovely characters that we got to know so well, including an octopus who is a really pivotal part of the story. It’s a lovely book of family and friendship based in a fictional coastal town in America. I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone else wanting an emotive, intriguing book to read.
14 – The Last Resort – Heidi Perks
Another book club book, this book had such great characters with stories that were beautifully woven together. A story that spanned decades, and an ending that saw everything come together really well. A great whodunnit book that went in so many different directions.
15 – None of This is True – Lisa Jewell
I love a Lisa Jewell book and this one I could not put down. Such odd characters who I really didn’t warm to at all, it’s a story of murder, abuse and so many lies. Even at the end, when the story all came together, you’re left not really knowing what happened but with a handful of possibilities to draw your own conclusions. It was a great read.
16 – Last Seen Alive – Claire Douglas
I really enjoyed this book. The story was different to anything I had read – based around a home exchange and featuring Bath and Cornwall. It had characters I felt I really got to know and really deep relationships. The story had massive twists that I wasn’t expecting and I was gripped throughout.
17 – Romany and Tom – Ben Watt
I read this book as I know personally, or know of, many of the people in the book. It’s a true story, a memoir, based on Ben Watt’s childhood and his life with his parents, Romany and Tom, written after Tom’s death around a decade ago.
I found the book really sad. It featured a lot of issues with addiction and mental health struggles and it was just so hard to read in places. But it also made me reflect on my own family relationships, wondering what I will look back on when people are no longer here.
A book that I’m glad I read, more for my personal connections than anything else. I’m not sure people without that connection would get as much from it.
18 – The Housemaid – Freida McFadden
I had seen this book everywhere and so many people had recommended it to me – so I read it. And I’m so glad I did! The main twist I had guessed quite a bit before, but it was still gripping, shocking and pretty hard to read at times! A great book for anyone that likes a thriller.
19 – The Housemaid’s Secret – Freida McFadden
This book was just as graphic and shocking as the first book, full of twists, deep characters and twists! There were some twists in this book that I didn’t see coming and I really enjoyed the continuation of characters from the first book to this one. Well worth reading after The Housemaid.
20 & 21 – The Lady Most Likely & The Lady Most Willing – Julia Quinn
These may well be the last Julia Quinn books I needed to read! And I loved them! Each book features three different couples who ultimately find each other and get married. It’s nicely predictable, easy to read and full of happy endings. Lovely books if you like Bridgerton.
22 – Both of You – Adele Parks
This was a book club choice and I enjoyed it although I didn’t really love any of the characters. It was different to other books I’d read and although billed as a detective/police investigation style book, it wasn’t very police heavy at all. A nice whodunnit – although the ending was shocking and not one I enjoyed reading!
I love Jojo Moyes and this book was great! It was very predictable, pretty sad in places but she managed to set the scene perfectly – and it was a beautiful scene to visualise. Full of the great outdoors, greenery and wildlife. Some of the characters were hit and miss but I loved the story – and the happy ending too.
24 – Only Love Can Hurt Like This – Paige Toon
This was such an emotionally challenging book but set in another location I absolutely loved. The farms were picturesque, the characters were deep and lovable and I just wanted everything to work out in the end. And it did, although it was utterly heartbreaking at times. A really lovely but emotional read.
25 – How To Stop Time – Matt Haig
This book took me such a long time to read. It was so down and depressing and felt like such a struggle to get through. I really didn’t enjoy it or get much from reading it. The idea – that someone could live forever – was great but the execution just wasn’t there. Not one for me and probably the last Matt Haig book I’ll read.
26 – The Once and Future Witches – Alix E Harrow
This was a really long book, and one that could have been a good chunk shorter. The actual story was great, one that I enjoyed and it was great to read something different. The main characters were ones that I felt we really got to know too but it was just far too long. The final quarter was the most enjoyable to read but the first three quarters felt like quite a slog. I could see people giving up before the story really got going.
27 – Eight Perfect Hours – Lia Louis
This may be one of the best books I have read this year. To be honest, I didn’t have high hopes for it. It’s a standard size book but felt quite flimsy. Thin pages that stuck together, a book that didn’t have much physical substance. But I was really surprised!
The book had a handful of main characters who had real substance, intricate stories and a main storyline that just kept surprising me. The little twists in the plot just kept giving and the ending was lovely. Full of hope and a bright future. I really loved it.
28 – The Big Little Festival – Kellie Hailes
This was actually the second in a series but I didn’t even realise – it was absolutely fine to read as a standalone book. I found this book to be really easy to read, lighthearted and pretty predictable but a really nice holiday read. It won’t be winning any literary prizes, and I won’t go out of my way to get another book by the same author, but I enjoyed it, liked the characters and was happy with the ending.
29 – How To Live When You Could Be Dead – Deborah James
I have wanted to read this book since it first came out. Deborah James was so inspiring and, having a relative with terminal cancer, I hoped that this book might help me in some way.
Deborah says herself that she isn’t really a writer, that the book is often a little garbled and doesn’t have a straight timeline of beginning, middle and end. It’s a little all over the place but she was dying when she wrote it and I felt like she just wanted to get all of her thoughts and feelings out onto paper. And that makes the book even more poignant and heartfelt. I wouldn’t read it again but felt that I gained a few strong life lessons through it and I’m glad I read it.
30 – Seven Summers – Paige Toon
I love Paige Toon books and so I chose this one as my Book Club choice at the start of the summer holidays. I really liked it. Well written and with a story that spans seven years, you really get to know and love the main characters and, although unlikely, I really liked the story and the twists and turns it took us on over those years. Well worth a read.
31 – Do Not Disturb – Claire Douglas
Claire Douglas is another favourite of mine and I took this book on holiday with us as I knew it would be something I could get my teeth into on a long flight. A really gripping story with so many twists and characters with so many layers to them. I thought I’d guessed the twist at the end but got it wrong. What a shocker!
32 – The Housemaid is Watching – Freida McFadden
I really enjoyed the last two books in this series and had been keen to read this instalment. Although still shocking, I didn’t find this one quite as shocking as the previous books and I did guess the twist at the end of this one. A great addition to the series.
33 – The Tanglewood Tea Shop – Lilac Mills
This was a book that I picked up in an offer when I just needed something light to read. I hadn’t heard of the author before but ended up loving this book so much that I bought the rest of the series. It was so predictable but the characters were lovely, the story was heartwarming and it was just such a nice read. I now need to know what happens to the residents of Tanglewood in the rest of the books!
34 – Faking Friends – Jane Fallon
Jane Fallon is one of my favourite authors for an easy to read book you can get stuck into, know you’ll be gripped from the start and be thinking about it long after the last chapter. This didn’t disappoint! Such a shocking story that came together so well. I really enjoyed it.
35 – The Party Crasher – Sophie Kinsella
I hadn’t read a Sophie Kinsella book since the Shopaholic series – she’s come far hasn’t she?! This was a fantastic read, with so many twists, really great characters and such a great house as a setting, I loved it and didn’t want it to end.
36 – Welcome to the School by the Sea – Jenny Colgan
This is another book that I randomly picked up and loved so much I had to buy the rest of the series! Set in a Cornish boarding school, it tells the story of teachers and students, all of which are real characters with different backgrounds and lifestyles. I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to read the next instalment.
37 – Sharp Objects – Gillian Flynn
I read Gone Girl quite a few years ago and really enjoyed it so had been meaning to read this. But it was horrifying. I really should learn to read the blurb when I pick up a book! Full of self harm, murdered children and graphic descriptions of things that were done to them after death, it was hard hitting. But, it was well written, had well thought out characters and a story that I guessed but that still kept me gripped until the very end.
38 – A Sister’s Gift – Giselle Green
I had high hopes for this book. The setting was great – half in Rochester, Kent and half in Brazil, with two sisters who have very contrasting lives. I felt like I got to know the characters really well but didn’t actually like them very much, and the story was just not one I could see happening so I found it quite implausible. I feel like it could have been so much better. It was fine but meh.
39 – Half a World Away – Mike Gayle
My first Mike Gayle read but definitely not my last. It takes a special kind of book to make you really, really cry and feel such a vast range of emotions for the characters you have come to know and love. This book was a real rollercoaster. I found it very predictable but I didn’t mind at all. I knew what was coming and I found it just so heartbreaking. Mike Gayle created real people for me and I was living life with them, every step of the way. Such a great book – but an incredibly emotive one!
40 – Jenny Colgan – Rules
The second in the series, this book was easy to read, so predictable but lovely all the same. I can understand why people love Jenny Colgan books – lovely, heartwarming stories with characters you can’t help but love. I’m looking forward to reading the next two books in the series.
41 – Emma Donoghue – The Pull of the Stars
This was such an incredible sad book, from start to finish, but taught me a lot about a time I didn’t know much about – the influenza outbreak in Ireland in 1918. Despite the bleak times, this book was full of compassion, love and friendship. I really enjoyed it and read it in a day.
42 – Delia Owens – Where the Crawdads Sing
I put off reading this book because it was so popular when it was released. Everyone was raving about it and I was worried that it wouldn’t live up to expectations. But, I loved it. The main character is so different to anyone I have read about before and her story is a lot for one book. There’s love, friendship, estrangement, domestic abuse, sexual violence, prejudice and racism. There are so many little stories within the one book, all shooting off from Kya’s story and life. I guessed the ending but that didn’t detract from how much I enjoyed the book. It was emotional but so worth reading. One of my favourites of the year.
43 – Ruth Hogan – The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes
I loved The Keeper of Lost Things so was really looking forward to reading this. I loved the characters in it, the underlying stories that came out as the story progressed and the main story – one that I had guessed halfway through but still enjoyed seeing unfold. This was a really emotional but lovely read – just not quite as good as The Keeper of Lost Things.
44 – Freida McFadden – One by One
After reading the Housemaid’s series I thought Freida McFadden might be a one trick pony but I picked this up anyway. And it was great! I couldn’t put it down, read it in 24 hours and loved how the story came together. It’s a fantastic whodunnit with so many possibilities – and I really didn’t guess the final twists. So well written.
45 – Freida McFadden – The Perfect Son
It was only right that after One by One I plough on with more McFadden books and this one was great! Slightly more predictable than my previous read but great characters and a really good story that left you guessing on so many fronts. I really enjoyed it.
After reading Adam Kay’s previous books I was expecting another book mainly about patients and life as a doctor but this was more autobiographical. It was more about Adam’s struggles with all aspects of life than it was about being a doctor – but that did crop up in pretty much every chapter too. Some of it was so incredibly hard to read. It was raw, emotive and just so open. It’s left me with even more respect for him than I had before – and the bar had already been set quite high on that front! A great read but featuring tough topics.
47 – Nicholas Sparks – Nights in Rodanthe
I used to love Nicholas Sparks books but hadn’t read one in years – but bought this along with some other books on Vinted and loved it! Highly predictable, it’s a love story that will definitely make you cry. Now made into a movie, it’s a story that is written over decades, switching from 30+ years ago to the present day. It’s so well written and I ploughed through it. A great romance with a bittersweet ending.
48 & 49 – Jenny Colgan – Lessons & Studies
Having read the first two books in this series earlier in the year, I couldn’t wait to see what else Maggie Adair got up to in the rest of the series. Easy to read and highly predictable, this series is great for anyone that just wants to step into a different life for a while. Great characters and a nice story.
50 – Kristin Hannah – The Nightingale
Another great Kristin Hannah book. Her books always teach me about historic events that I had no idea about. This one is all about the under ground resistance during WW2 in France, people secretly helping the allies and risking their lives for the greater good. I had no idea what France and the French people went through during the war – aside from surrendering – and this taught me so much. Such an emotional read.
51 – Fredrik Beckman – Anxious People
This was a book club choice and not something I would have ordinarily picked up. It was a really slow read for me. It’s written quite conversationally and I found it difficult to follow at times. But, it’s a story full of great characters and so many interwoven stories with really important moral messages interwoven throughout. I liked this book and loved the messaging but just found the style difficult to read.
52/53/54 – Lilac Mills – The Tanglewood Flower Shop, The Tanglewood Wedding Shop, The Tanglewood Bookshop
The rest of the books in the Tanglewood series, I loved reading all about Leanne, owner of the flower shop, and her life – especially when she enters a flower based reality TV show! Then there was Edie and her job in the wedding shop – featuring a cute little bunny too! And lastly, Saul and the farm and Kazz and the bookshop. The whole series was so easy to read with such a lovely setting and great characters. I’m sad that I’ve finished reading about Tanglewood and would happily read more books in the series if they’re released in the future
55 – Jo Middleton – Happy Bloody Christmas
This book had me gripped from the very beginning! A whodunnit that basically spans just a 24 hour period leading up to Christmas but featuring so many characters – and suspects! What would you do if you found Father Christmas murdered in your pantry?! I guessed the murderer fairly early on in the book but loved seeing the story unfold, all the little secondary storylines and how all the chapter stories were interwoven. I loved it and can’t wait for the next book in the series to be released!
56 – Freida McFadden – Never Lie
I am working my way through the Freida McFadden back catalogue and am loving it! This was another book that I ploughed through, totally hooked from the very start. The setting was really eerie and I loved how the story flipped from present day to previous times – it was really well done in this book. I didn’t guess the twists in this story at all – and found it so incredibly shocking and so hard to read in places. A really great thriller.
57 & 58 – Cecelia Ahern – Flawed & Perfect
I read Flawed years ago but had never got around to reading Perfect so read them both – and loved them. Such a great story, a dystopian version of our world with a really segregated society where people are branded for being morally flawed. It felt quite like The Hunger Games in places – a story that is so shocking but one that you could see happening if the wrong people were in charge. Great books and although technically YA, I don’t think they’re for teens really.
59 – Freida McFadden – The Locked Door
I don’t think I’ve ever read a book so quickly – and really failed to guess the twists in this one! Freida McFadden is such a great writer and she makes you suspect everyone. But, I really didn’t suspect the baddie in this one! Absolutely loved it despite it being another really shocking story.
60 – Paige Toon – Five Years From Now
The last Paige Toon book I read was Seven Summers and this one felt quite similar. The basis was the same – the story jumps forward in five year intervals, where Seven Summers jumper forward to the next summer each time. But, aside from that, the story was different. It was so well written, so emotive and so gripping. I cried a lot at the end. It’s a story of love, loss and sometimes things just not being the right place or time. A really good book.
61 – Freida McFadden – The Inmate
Another great McFadden book. This one kept me guessing throughout. All my guesses were wrong and some of the twists really shocked me! Such a great read, another one that I just couldn’t put down!
I bought this book as an extra impulse buy as part of a Vinted bundle. Had no idea what it was about and didn’t even read the blurb on the back. But I loved it. It was so sad and so emotional but so beautifully written. The book spans less than 24 hours and yet you get to really know and love the characters. Plus the story is so different to anything I have ever read before. I loved it.
The last book I read of Dawn O’Porter’s was So Lucky which I still haven’t got over. The ending was so shocking and so unexpected. I don’t think I will ever be ok with it. But, I thought I would try again – as I loved Cows. But, Cat Lady was so strange. Parts were bonkers bordering on unhinged and although there were really strong messages within the book about friendship, love and how, really, there isn’t anything wrong with being a cat lady, this was lost amongst the scenes that were written, I’m sure, just to shock. I didn’t like it.
64 – Amy Tintera – Listen For The Lie
This was a book club book and, from the cover, it’s not something I would have picked up. But, it was SO good. I’m so glad I read it. So well written, with typical story along with podcast episodes, it was different and gripping. I guessed the whodunnit aspect but still loved seeing the story come together. I’m looking forward to reading more Amy Tintera books in the future.
65 – Kristin Hannah – Between Sisters
I love a Kristin Hannah book but this one was more like Firefly Lane and Night Road in the fact that it wasn’t historical fiction. It was simply a lovely story about messed up families, love, friendship and the bond between sisters. It was so emotional and the ending I didn’t find completely plausible, but it all came together beautifully. I really enjoyed it and could not put it down.
66 – Freida McFadden – The Coworker
This is my least favourite Freida McFadden book so far. I found the characters really unlikeable and the quirkiness of one of the main characters I found overdone and grating. I also didn’t like the ending. Freida McFadden tends to have two ways of ending books – everyone getting their comeuppance or everything being swept under the rug, open ended, so the baddies can potentially do awful things again. I’ve realised I’m definitely a fan of one option more than the other! But, I read this book in a day, I was gripped and I really enjoyed it, even if it didn’t work out the way I would have liked.
67- Freida McFadden – The Boyfriend
Can you tell that I am LOVING Freida McFadden books? This book was another great one, kept me guessing throughout – and made me so glad I don’t have to use dating apps! Scary stuff! If you love a gripping whodunnit when you’ll love this.
68 – Jojo Moyes – Someone Else’s Shoes
Another author I love is Jojo Moyes – and this was such a great book. Following the stories of two women from two completely different backgrounds, add some of their friends and colleagues into the mix and you have a really lovely story that has so many twists throughout. The main one I guessed but it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the story or how much I loved the characters. A really lovely read – although it didn’t make me cry like most Jojo Moyes books!
69 – Sally Hepworth – The Younger Wife
This was a book club choice and I could not put it down! The characters were all so different – and all seemed to have quite complex issues. I didn’t know where the story was going and it had me sucked in from the start. Absolutely loved it – although I’m still asking myself what happened in it. Did he? Didn’t he? The ending was quite ambiguous but I think that added to the enjoyment of it.
70-76 – Sherryl Woods – Chesapeake Shores Series – The Inn at Eagle Point, Flowers on Main, Harbor Lights, A Chesapeake Shores Christmas, Driftwood Cottage, Moonlight Cove, Beach Lane
This year I have been working through some of the Chesapeake Shores books after enjoying the Netflix series. I had intended to read the whole series but didn’t quite manage it! The books are very twee, very small town on the coast, with lovely characters, at least one romance in each book and interwoven stories that make you feel like you know the characters so well. Lovely, lighthearted books that are just so easy to read.
77 – Lisa Jewell – Then She Was Gone
You really can’t beat a Lisa Jewell book and this was a great one – although with a lot of difficult topics throughout. It’s a story of control, abuse, love and loss. I really liked the characters – they were all so different – and unlike other Lisa Jewell books with a big twist at the end, this told you what happened bit by bit, really drawing you into the story. A great book.
78 – Sherryl Woods – An O’Brien Family Christmas
I managed to squeeze in another Chesapeake Shores book before Christmas – and this one was so festive, and such a lovely, easy read. The characters were all on location in Ireland for Christmas and it was so nice to read about them somewhere different as well as find out so much O’Brien family history – and see so many new possibilities open up for the future.
79 – Lisa Jewell – The Night She Disappeared
I just love a Lisa Jewell book and this one was well worth waiting for! Such a different story and an ending that I really wasn’t expecting. The story went all over the place and I loved seeing it all unfold. Really enjoyed this one despite it being quite dark in places.
80 – Karen M McManus – One of Us is Back
The final of the One Of Us Is Lying series! I’d been waiting a long time for this and because there’s such a long gap between books I did have to go back and refresh myself around who each character was and what had happened previously. That said, I really enjoyed the finale and loved all the plot twists. It really kept me guessing.
81 – Cecelia Ahern – Roar
The only book I didn’t finish this year, and it sounded SO promising! Thirty stories from thirty different women. But, after reading three of them it felt very predictable, quite preachy and just not for me. I usually always persevere but I just couldn’t with this one.
82 – Beth O’Leary – The Wake-Up Call
I love Beth O’Leary books and read her last ones in quick succession. This one was more of a slow burner, it felt like it dragged in places and was, ultimately, very predictable. But, I still really enjoyed it. Lighthearted, a story from different viewpoints and a happy ending.
83 – Kate Storey – The Memory Library
I absolutely loved this book. It had been an impulse buy from a bundle I bought on Vinted but I love any bookish books so thought I’d give it a go. And it was lovely! A real mix of characters, a story that spanned the globe and lots of iffy family dynamics. It all came together so beautifully at the end.
84 – Claire Douglas – The Sisters
This was another great Claire Douglas book but it did seem to drag in the middle – and then ramped up at the end when all the twists were revealed! I really enjoyed it, really liked the characters and their varying personalities and got really sucked into the story. Well worth a read.
85 – John Green – The Fault in Our Stars
This book came out over ten years ago but I have only just got around to reading it – and found it such an emotional rollercoaster. I was properly crying by the end. Without any spoilers, it’s all centred around children with cancer so steer clear if this isn’t something you could read about. But, it was a really eye opening book about friendship, love and how people deal with the terminal diagnosis of people close to them and losing children, friends and loved ones. So emotional but I’m really glad I read it.
86 – Claire Douglas – The Wrong Sister
This was another great Claire Douglas book. I really liked the characters in it, felt like I really got to know them and didn’t guess where the story was going. A great whodunnit book with lots of twists!
87 – Celeste Ng – Our Missing Hearts
I have loved the other Celeste Ng books I’ve read so expected to end the year on a high. But, I really didn’t like this book. It was a struggle to read, it felt so incredibly long, with a story that didn’t really go anywhere. It didn’t have any speech punctuation and I didn’t really like the characters and couldn’t warm to them. It was set in a dystopian version of a fairly modern day America and I’m guessing was written after the pandemic as had a lot of rules, conflict, economic issues and I hoped for a happy ending but the ending left so many questions unanswered. I gave it two stars which I felt was generous.
So that’s everything I’ve read this year. It feels like quite an eclectic mix and I’ve discovered a few new authors this year that I know will feature in my reading in the future. I have a huge to read pile and know that I’ll be focusing on working through that in 2025 rather than buying any more books!
If you’re looking for more reading inspiration, here’s what I’ve read previously:
