December 2024 Reading List

Nine books read this last month of 2024, including some new authors.

Taken and Threads of Suspicion are both by Dee Henderson, a new author for me. They were okay reads but not quite my cup of tea.

Here One Moment is the second book I've read by Liane Moriarty an author recommended to me by a friend in 2019. I 'rediscovered' her while looking through my authors list. I'm glad I did.

What Alice Forgot and Big Little Lies are also by Liane Moriarty. Her books are set in Australia and have a different style, but one I like. I have two more on my list for the next 'stock up on books' trip.

Moral Disorder and The Year Of The Flood are both by Margaret Atwood. These were the only two books of her's at my library that I had not read. It was time. The first is a collection of connected short stories. The second is one of her dystopian novels. I do not like dystopian works. They come too close to what I fear for our world. But Atwood is an excellent writer. The flood of the title is not water but a pandemic. 

Slow Dance and Landline are both by Rainbow Rowell an Omaha author also new to me. I decided to read some of Reese's Book Club picks and Slow Dance is one of those. Again, not quite my cup of tea.

That's a total of 85 books read this year, down slightly from 2023. I'm already looking forward to '25 - there are several books on my list by some of my favorite authors. Hopefully a few of them will be on the shelves in January.

Happy New Year - and Happy Reading!
