I read 36 books in 2024.
I am only in competition with myself when it comes to how much I read.
I have friends who read many more books than I do.
I was in a reading slump for part of last year.
I hate reading slumps.
When I am enjoying a book so much that I don't want to put it down, that is a happy place for me.
Here are my favorite titles from last year:
"I Will Always Write Back" by Martin Ganda and Caitlin Alifirenka: The true story of two middle schoolers, one from the Midwest and the other from Zimbabwe, who began a lifelong friendship as pen pals.
"The Goldie Standard" by Simi Monheit - a Jewish grandmother is on a mission to marry off her granddaughter to a 'nice Jewish doctor'
"Have a Little Faith: A True Story" Mitch Albom - Mitch connects with his childhood rabbi and an African American pastor and learns about faith and connection
I also found two new authors to like:
Carolyn Meyer - YA historical fiction
John Glatt - true crime
