Best of the Best: All the Books Read in 2024

Hello friends, and welcome or welcome back to the blog!

How are you? No, really. How are you?  I hope you’re taking care in the new year, and I wish you joy, health, and prosperity this season.  Make sure you take care of yourself, get plenty of rest, and drink lots of water.

Ladies and gentlemen…2024 was my book 📚 year.  Even though I didn’t achieve my Good Reads goal (I was one 2 books shy), I still had a stellar year in books and ARC titles.  So much so that I continued my podcast series just on my ARC reviews.  My blog (website) doesn’t focus solely on books and media (because I read way too slowly…LOL) and because I want to share several things in the pursuit of happiness. Books make me happy, and there’s no better place to be than between the pages of something that expands your thinking.

Here’s a link to my “2024 Good Reads Challenge“.  It was ambitious …I’ll admit, but also so much fun.

I’ll break down my reviews into a few sections.  I’m sharing a compilation of the review that was solely posted on the blog.  Some reviews were only posted on Good Reads, and ARC titles were also reviewed on Good Reads.  So let’s go!

Well, I’ll end this post here.  Sadly, my time off has ended, and I’m back to work next week.  The only caveat is that I get to work from home due to the inclement weather messing with my train schedule. I’ve had a great two weeks relaxing, reading, and getting my house in order.

Thanks so much for visiting the blog as I wrap up the “Best of the Best of 2024.” — Duces ✌🏽
