10 Books I NEED to Read Before 2024 Ends!! ✅🆘✅

[@glendyc22]

Wow you have lots of reading to do lol, but great list. I remember Cameron Chaney mentioned The Forsaken Boy a while back in one of his videos and he really liked it so I've been having it on my tbr & hoping to read it soon. I read Fourth Wing back in January and really liked it but haven't gotten to the sequel yet so I'll try to read it before the third book comes out. Love your Christmas shirt!

What a great list! You sure are keeping busy. I like the authors sending you their books. {I'm thinking about sending you a book or two someday, even though they are not exactly "Shadyside" types.} Oh, and I like your FLEECE NAVIDAD shirt.

@@rayboydstun1626 Thanks! I sure am staying busy… November has been a great reading month for me! But I’m going to have to continue the grind if I want to put a dent in this stack of books! Feel free to add to it but don’t expect me to read it right away haha!

Awesome List! NOS4A2 is my favorite Joe Hill and I hope you have a blast! It is big but I think you will fly through it. Some of those middle-Grade covers are so creepy. I have Poking Holes on my kindle, definitely want to read it in 2025. I will look out for Served Cold, sounds great. Happy reading.

@@CliffsDarkGems Thanks so much Cliff!! Looking forward to N0S4A2!! Heard nothing but good things!

Love the shirt!! Also, that’s a great list of books to read before the end of the year. Added a couple of them to my TBR for next year. 😂 I personally only have 6 books left that I want to read. Five of them are short MM Christmas Romance books. And then the last one is Wind & Truth by Brandon Sanderson.

[@ShadysideLibrary]

@@MSMDragon Thanks! 6 is probably a better number… I get a little ambitious sometimes 🥴 Brandon Sanderson is an author I’ve always wanted to give a shot but am afraid to make the plunge. Maybe one day.

Love this lineup! Thank you so much for including Mina.

[@ShadysideLibrary]

@@AmyMcCaw Absolutely! I got a little glimpse of your writing when reading Lurking in the Dark and now you’ve got me intrigued!

[@Kritz_Reads]

n0s4a2 was my first Joe Hill book and remains my favorite. I think you will like it. Frankenturkey sounds like a great time. Hope you are able to make a dent in your 10 before the end!

[@ShadysideLibrary]

@@Kritz_Reads You and me both lol! The inner mood reader always strays from the TBR… N0S4A2 might have to take some priority though

[@alyssanicholson4312]

Love the list

[@ShadysideLibrary]

@@alyssanicholson4312 thank you!!

I read N0S4A2 a long time ago and I remember thinking it was good/decent; nothing I loved but it was fine enough. Night of the Living Mummy is in contest with Scariest Book Ever as my favorite House of Shivers book so far. And Poking Holes is a particularly disturbing piece of literature and a great debut by Juan. I even skipped the first couple of short stories in the book, per Juan's warning, but at that time I was pretty new to more transgressive fiction. I definitely want to go back and read the full book now, though I am sure it will still be an unpleasant experience! Lol

[@ShadysideLibrary]

@@Monsterblood Good to know!! I’m definitely liking the house of shivers series so far. And yeah… I’m a little terrified of poking holes but I figured why not give it a whirl. A little exposure therapy never hurt nobody 😂
