My 2024 in Books

.

I didn’t quite meet my 2024 reading challenge goal of 107 books (one more than I read in 2023), but I read some very challenging books, so I mostly feel okay about it. For the past couple of years, I have been using StoryGraph as well as Goodreads. I like to see the different types of data – but discrepancies in the shared data do provide a nice reminder that it’s all in good fun. In any case, for my own amusement (and yours, should you actually enjoy this sort of thing) here’s a look at how much of what kind of reading I did in 2024. I’d love to hear from you if you read some of the same things.

Reading Barbados: How The One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House

After Azerbaijan, the next country in my literary journey around the world should have been The Bahamas. But I ended up taking the wrong figurative plane and landed in Barbados instead. However it happened, it worked out in the end, because I very much enjoyed the trip.
