I read 35 books this year, which is a lot less than usual, but my work life has gotten a lot busier! Here are my pics for 2024!
Fiction Book of the Year - The Women by Kristin Hannah
This book by Kristin Hannah was wonderful, and it has stayed with me a long time. I learned a TON about the Vietnam War and specifically about the roles women played. It was a GREAT read!
Honorable Mention Fiction Book - We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
You know it's a good book if I read it and then almost immediately start it as a read-aloud to my family!
Nonfiction Book of the Year - Unstoppable by Maggie Nichols
Admittedly, I didn't read a lot of nonfiction this year, but I do love me some women's gymnastics, so reading Maggie Nichols story was fantastic. She is "Athlete A" - the gymnast who first blew the whistle on the sexual abuse by Larry Nassar of hundreds of girls. It's a fabulous book of triumph.
Happy reading in 2025!
