Once upon a time, I used to read during all my free time. That most decidedly does not happen anymore, especially since I started writing! That being said, I'm been listening to audiobooks almost exclusively for the past couple of years. Let me tell you. It's been a GAME-CHANGER.
I must say, 2024 really delivered for me! Most of my reads were 4 or 5 stars (though I am a bit of an high rater) and I found a few new auto-buy authors. I count that as a win! Below you'll see a quick wrap-up of my "bests" of the year, including a full list of all the books I read and their ratings.
Lindsay's 2024 Book Superlatives
BEST OVERALL
Destroy the Day
Brigid Kemmerer
This book truly did me in. It was the perfect conclusion to the Defy the Night trilogy and I was sobbing in my kitchen while I listened to the end of the audiobook. If you like complex and morally gray characters, political intrigue, slow burn romance, brotherly bonds, and seemingly impossible situations, I would highly recommend adding this series to your TBR!
