I read 208 books this past year while dealing with the Big Man’s cancer treatments, my mother’s decline & my own crippling arthritis. My reading has been simply to bring me joy - hence the dominance of Crime & Romantasy. Here are 24 of my favourite books of 2024💖📚 I hope you enjoy them💖📚⬇️

Sharing my review for After The Storm by @gdwrightwrites.bsky.social today. This is an excellent, but heart-wrenching read that I couldn’t put down. The storyline could be upsetting for some so check out the content warnings if necessary. Let me know if this one is going on your TBR list! #BookSky

Every year, I buy myself a really nice present, some frippery I’ve wanted but couldn’t justify otherwise. It’s my reward for being me, given with love and gratitude, accepted with humility and thanks. Try it ❤️

Nice to see this recognition for translators. Of course, Jon Fosse himself is also a translator – he translated The Plains by Gerald Murnane. (Fosse also married his Slovakian translator.) www.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...

I think the people behind Spines AI publishing are spineless cowards who don’t care about books, don’t care about art, don’t care about the instinctive human talent it takes to write, edit and produce a book. They want the magic, quick and cheap and without the work. They are snake oil salesmen.
