2024 Reading List

Check back as I update this list often! Just about every week, I add new books I’ve accepted for review or titles I can’t resist, as well as a few backlist titles squeezed in where I can.

This list includes some backlist titles that I’ve read recently and plan to post reviews for this year.

Like last year, I’m breaking up my list into four categories. Click one of the headings below to go directly to my reading list in that category.

Young Adult Fiction (12 and up)
