2024 Books



I love looking back at the books I read over the year, and it helps me remember from year to year!! At the beginning of this year the Toronto Public Library was hacked so the online system was offline for a number of weeks and that really impacted my reading.

The Maidens

The Lying Game

Letter Across the Sea 

The Palace Papers

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

The Jetsetter's

Unreconciled

Expiration Dates

Tom Lake 

Where the Grass is Green and the Girls are Pretty 

The Guest 

Every Summer After 

Meet me at the Lake

This Summer Will Be Different 

None of This is True

We Meant Well 

The Weekend Retreat

The Forgotten Home Child 

Denison Avenue

Lies and Weddings 

The Last Mrs. Parrish 

What Have Your Done?

Game of Lies 

And I'm currently reading The Fury by Alex Michaelides and will probably finish it and How Canada Works by Peter Mansbridge by the end of the year. 

And my favourite books of the year are:

#3 (and Canadian!) - Denison Avenue

#2 We Meant Well

and #1 (which I called as soon as I read it) Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow


Reading really is the best way to travel around the world (like in We Meant Well), see your own city in a different light (like Denison Avenue), and learn about a world that I know nothing about (video game design in Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow).  Sometimes you just need a quick beach read or a British murder mystery, and sometimes books can be duds - all of these appear in the list above - but I will never regret picking up a book.

  1. Love this list! I will have to add the to my Goodreads list. I need to plan my book post before the end of the year.
