My Favorite Books of 2024!



Today I wanted to share my favorite books I read this year! I decided to narrow it down to five book per category, which was really difficult to do. There were a lot of amazing books this year! But I managed to do it. Thank you so much to the publishers for e-ARCs of many of the books featured in this post! I feel honored I was able to read them. 



Most of these books are already out, but WE WERE WARNED, UNLOCK THE DARK, and this edition of SWORDHEART, all release in 2025. 

From Cozy Mysteries and YA Thrillers, Fantasy novels for all ages, swoony Romances, and delightful Picture Books, I truly loved and recommend all of the books I’ve mentioned in this post. They are new favorites, and I highly encourage you all to check them out if you’re looking for a new read. 

I hope you have had a wonderful holiday season filled with love, and I pray you all have a happy and safe 2025. Happy New Year 2025! :)

Favorite Books of 2023!

Hi, everyone! I wanted to share my favorite reads of 2023. I decided to keep to just five titles per category, to have it really be my favorite books of the year (because I read a lot of books I enjoyed, but these were the books I loved the most this year)! I’m also only including one book per author, even though a few could have had more here!

(And thank you to the publishers who I got e-ARCs from for a bunch of these books!)






Do we have any of the same favorites?

And I hope you all have a very Happy New Year 2024! :)

My Favorite Books of 2022!

Hi, everyone! *sings to the tune of The Christmas Waltz* "It's that tiimmmeee of yeeaarr, when the lists begin to appearrr"  It is in fact that time of year, where we all share our favorite reads of the year! 2022 was a stressful, hard year. But despite all that, I read some truly amazing books, that brought me joy. And today, I share them with all of you! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen these books, where over the course of last week, I posted about them. (And if you don't follow me, *wink* here's the link, I've been spending a lot more time there recently.) BUT today I share them all together here!

Now, I read so many amazing books this year, and it was really hard to narrow down these categories. But I wanted to really highlight the books I loved the absolute most this year, (and I had to make some tough cuts to get to these.), and I love how the list turned out.

Also! I only listed each author once, even though some of these people could have had multiple books here, to keep it shorter. AND not all of these books released in 2022, but I read them this year, which is how I do my favorite of the year lists.

All of these books (except for the Picture Books and Killer Research) were ARCs from publishers and/or authors, thank you so much to the respective people for the opportunity to read these books!

Now onto the books!

My Favorite Books of 2021!

Hi, everyone! It's that time of year, the time where I (and basically everyone else in the blogging world) post my favorite books of the year! Now, not every book I liked will be on this post, because I really wanted to just highlight my absolute favorites here. I easily could have made each category full of even more books, but I wanted to try and keep each category shorter, so I kept going back and culling books from each one until I couldn't (seriously, I agonized over each choice, and it hurt to erase some, but I didn't want to list 20 books per category) get rid of any more. I also listed only one book per author. And overall, I'm really happy with my picks! Each category I kept to just five books (except one), and when I look at these books, I feel so much love for them.

Here we go!

Number of Books Read: 273

This was the year I finally gave myself permission to skim read books that while perfectly fine, just weren't working for me in the moment (the books were fine! It was most likely me!), which is the reason the number is so high. I can't tell you how much of a relief this was for me, to be able to let myself admit a book wasn't working for me, and allow myself to skim read it and still count it read. I used to just quit reading it, and never count it read, which while also fine, always made me feel a little... I don't even know how to explain it, but it was frustrating, especially if I had already invested a lot of time in the book before I decided to DNF. I'm also a big believer that just because a book didn't work for me, doesn't mean you won't like it, and same in reverse!

Listed in no particular order.

Picture Books:








Middle Grade:








YA:








Adult:

(This was the one category I just couldn't narrow down to five, no matter how hard I tried. I could not post this without including all eight of these books!)









What books were your favorite of the year? :)
