Reading List // 2024

Below is the list of novels, both fiction and nonfiction, along with graphic novels that I read in 2024. For each book read, I rated it on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the least enjoyable and 10 being the most satisfying. I based the ratings on how developed the characters were, whether or not the plot was engaging, and the stylistic flair of each writer. As a disclaimer, these are just my personal opinions. I love reading and writing and would never want to discourage anyone from putting down their phone and picking up a book. While there were some stories that I didn’t personally love or connect with, your experience might differ. Now, on to the lists.

2024 Books Read

This year I got heavily into Stephen King. I was never one for horror, but based on recommendations from my friend I gave his work a try and was pleasantly surprised. Also this year I continued mowing through Harlen Coben’s Myron Bolitar series, which I loved. Entertaining, quick easy reads.
