librarian4Him02 | 312 comments Happy New Year!!

It's been a few years since I've made it to 50 books. Podcasts have gotten in the way of audiobooks. So, I'm spending this New Year's Eve ruthlessly culling my podcast feeds in the hopes of having time for more audiobooks in 2024.

Setting my goal at 50 books for the year. No specific genres or themes to start with. We'll see what happens as the year goes on.

Happy reading, everyone!

Juli

Podcasts have gotten in my way of reading on the bus, so I'm right there with you! :D

Good luck on your goal!

librarian4Him02 | 312 comments And with that my reading for 2024 comes to a close. I was hoping for 50, but fell far short. Still, I enjoyed the books I got to read. Here are my top five in no particular order.

1. Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree
2. The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi - by Shannon Chakrabarty
3. Play With Your Cat! - by Mikel Maria Delgado
4. Love's Enduring Promise - by Janette One
5. The Spare Man by Mary Kowal Robinette

I hope you all had a great 2024. Here's to more reading in 2025!

Ann A (readerann) | 889 comments I think enjoying what you read is more important than how MUCH you read. Here's to many more enjoyable reads in 2025!

I agree with Ann - the important thing is you enjoyed what you read!

Happy new year, and happy reading in 2025!
