I read 208 books this past year while dealing with the Big Man’s cancer treatments, my mother’s decline & my own crippling arthritis.
My reading has been simply to bring me joy - hence the dominance of Crime & Romantasy.
Here are 24 of my favourite books of 2024πŸ’–πŸ“š
I hope you enjoy themπŸ’–πŸ“šβ¬‡οΈ
Evening Bookophiles πŸ˜€πŸ’–πŸ“š, so last week, I couldn’t resist peeking on to #FoxLaneBooks website & they had such a fantastic selection.

My weekend plans, unexpectedly changed. So I braved a visit into town, which was very crowded 😱😱 & freaked me out but I was determined to visit #Waterstones & my two book limit, was flexible πŸ˜†πŸ’–πŸ“š. Here’s my Saturday book liberation haulπŸ“šβ¬‡οΈπŸ’– #BlueSky
Morning bookophiles πŸ˜€πŸ“šπŸ’–. Looks like it’s Monday again & STILL January 😱😱. This really is the month that won’t endπŸ˜†πŸ˜±. I am on my 2nd frothy coffee β˜•οΈ & trying to recover from finishing #OnyxStorm at 6am today πŸ˜†πŸ˜±πŸ“šπŸ’–. Not quite sure what to do nowπŸ˜† #BookSky

Earlier today, I finished #Water Moon πŸŒ™ by the immensely imaginative & talented #SamanthaSottoYambao
This is a magnificent, mysterious & magical read, that I completely fell in love with & I hope you do too. If this book isn’t on your shelf or TBL, then it needs to beπŸ˜€πŸ’œπŸ“šβ¬‡οΈ
Hopefully next week will feel shorter πŸ˜€πŸ“šπŸ’– & the back cover is equally as greatπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ“š

Today has extremely busy & very chilly πŸ₯Ά & the temperature is dropping again now to -5* πŸ₯Ά.
I have only been back at work 4 days but it felt like 16 weeksπŸ˜±πŸ˜†.
On the plus side, my daffodils 🌼 have started to open & a new book arrived - oopsπŸ˜†πŸ“šβ¬‡οΈ
Afternoon Bookophiles πŸ’–πŸ“šπŸ˜€
The Big Man 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is on a train back to Scotland πŸ₯². I am a little sadπŸ₯².

I loved Rewitched tooπŸ’–πŸ“š, I am very much looking forward to the Full Moon Coffee ShopπŸ‘πŸ“š
Back at home, I purged the fridge of Christmas remnants & unpacked my latest book purchases (3 of these I have read on audiobook already) but I wanted physical copies πŸ’–πŸ“š & 3 were on my TBL & I had a Β£10 Waterstones voucherπŸ˜†πŸ“šπŸ’–, so couldn’t resist themπŸ’–πŸ“š

The Big Man 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 & I had a lovely lunch out & then popped into M&S for a few things.
After that a frothy coffee & part of a lemon meringue cheesecake, my mother got confused & ate my cake (having said she didn’t want anything πŸ˜†πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ˜±) #DementiaJoy 😱
I agree & this is part 1 & part 2 is due in 2025πŸ‘πŸ˜€
I tried to only buy new books I hadn’t read, although I confess I have listened to #Rewitched on audiobookπŸ˜€πŸ“šπŸ’–
