Top Ten Tuesday - Best Books I Read in 2024

December 31, 2024
Hello, dear readers! Today’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt from Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl is the best books I read in 2024. I stumbled upon some really great books this year, and it was hard to pick just ten. I discovered an amazing new-to-me author (Kate Quinn), and I listened to some wonderful new-to-me narrators (Saskia Maarleveld and Xe Sands). All of these books were audiobooks, except for The Paradise Problem, and I highly recommend the audiobook versions. I can’t wait to see what 2025 brings. HAPPY TUESDAY and HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉



1. The Briar Club by Kate Quinn
2. The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn
3. The Rose Code by Kate Quinn
4. The Flight Girls by Noelle Salazar
5. The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
6. Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson
7. Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
8. Educated by Tara Westover
9. How to Walk Away by Katherine Center
10. The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren

    You read a lot of historical fiction novels last year! I need to read more of those books in 2025. The only ones on your list that I've read is Educated and How to Walk Away...but I really loved the Katherine Center one. Wishing you even better books in the new year! :D

    I've read EDUCATED and HOW TO WALK AWAY. I thought the former was interesting and I loved the latter. I need to read more from Center! I still haven't read a Kate Quinn book. I need to remedy that in 2025. Which is your favorite?

    Happy TTT!

      I would highly recommend reading The Rose Code first and The Briar Club second. Happy New Year, Susan!
