Preview: Top 10 Books I Read in 2024!

2024 turned out to be one of my most important years. Publishing my first books, making breakthroughs in my mental health, and reading many works of fantastic literature, it was a treasure trove of experiences.

Hoping to make the best of '25, but before that, I'd like to make a list of all the best books I read in 2024!

I've got a few rules before I start: first, only one book per series, or I'd end up repeating myself too often, and there wouldn't be enough room for variety.

Second, I can only include a book if it's part of my 2024 year in books: https://www.goodreads.com/user/year_i... If I didn't record it on Goodreads, then I can't include it!

And third, no re-reads. Sorry, Hunger Games, you know I love you, but I'm looking for the new kids on the block.

And as always, all of this is my opinion, so feel free to disagree! Now let's go!

#10: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare: In the city of Verona, Italy, a fierce feud between two families, the Montagues and the Capulets, has been raging. When two young people, one from each family, fall madly in love with one another, tensions start to rise, but the two lovers are determined to be together no matter what the cost.
Shakespeare's classic tale still holds up, and thanks to the No Fear Shakespeare books, even modern-day casual audiences can enjoy them!

#9: Hot Mess by Jeff Kinney: When Greg's family goes on vacation with a group of relatives from his mom's side, they're hoping for a relaxing stay at a vacation house from his mother's and aunts' childhoods. But when family drama, trip hijinks, and more come into play, it's apparent that this trip might not be memorable for all the reasons they were hoping for.
After I finished No Brainer, I was worried about where the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series was headed, but the most recent entry in the series gave me hope! It's super fun and very re-readable!
