I'm working my way through #VirtualMountTBR2024. Here's my current To-Be-Read List, and here's the list of titles I have read this year.
In December 2024
Books read: 8
Books I decided NOT to finish: 1
Wordslut: Like many on the list, it just doesn't rank as highly in reality once I have to weigh it against other books and all the life stuff on my plate.
Books left on the TBR List: 56 (I added next year's)
Best book of the month: A Deadly Education
This author is new to me (sometimes I'm late to pick up trends) but I've liked everything far. I preferred the fairytale retelling from earlier this year. I've also placed an anthology of short stories from her various universes on hold for a treat in a couple of months. Close runner-up: A Sorceress Comes to Call.
Worst book of the month: How to Stand Up to a Dictator
From the title, it seemed timely. I saw the parallels. I learned a bit about world politics. But I was bored stiff.
Sum-up: There was a nice flurry of interesting, distracting fiction mid-month, just as I crested the peak of 60. I remember when all my reading used to be like that -- or so it seemed. That was why I liked it so much. Then I stocked up on library holds for our vacation days to end the year on a good reading vibe!
