My goal for 2024 was to read 24 books this year. I know, it isn’t some sort of extravagant goals or anything like that, simply two books a month. And I am proud to say, that I have failed that goal. Here are the books that I read through 2024:
- A Court of Frost and Starlight
- A Court of Flames and Silver
- Throne of Glass
- Crown of Midnight
- Heir of Fire
- Queen of Shadows
- Empire of Storms
- Tower of Dawn
- Kingdom of Ash
- Uglies
- Pretties
- Extras
- Specials
- Crescent City
- House of Sky and Breath
- House of Flame and Shadow
- The Book of Lost Names
Now you might be thinking to yourself, why am I “proud” of not accomplishing my goal?
Well, believe it or not, I actually fell out of love with reading and have been trying to rediscover it throughout this year. I’m happy to report that I did! And not only that, but I started writing my own book too, and even attended a fantasy ball!
Life sometimes gets in the way of our plans, and that’s okay. The goal was never just about hitting a number; it was about enjoying the process of reading and getting back to my roots.
Every time I picked up a book, I was able to escape reality for a little while and immerse myself in the creativity of other authors. I savored those moments, whether it was a gripping plot twist or a beautifully written passage that made me pause and reflect. So, though there may not be a huge number of books to celebrate, the quality of what I read far outweighs the physical amount.
And who knows, maybe next year I’ll achieve my goal of reading 24 books!
