24 BOOKS TO READ IN 2024 \\ my 2024 TBR + reading goals ✨ bookmas day 6!

[@MyBookHauledLife-Essie]

I chose 100 books from my own physical shelves to read in 2024! I plan to donate them as I read them if they are not definite keepers!

[@livslibrary]

That is so kind! 🥹

[@YentlLega]

Love this idea!

[@kaylastoops7479]

I’m reading Bookshops and Bonedust now. I just started it but am enjoying it so far and am already feeling the coziness coming through.

[@allisonclothier2757]

The measure by Nikki e is one of my favorites of all time! I will never stop recommending it, so I’m super excited you’re going to read it!!

[@briannaremusbooks]

Bring me your midnight was easily my top favorite of 2023, it’s so atmospheric and cozy!

[@livslibrary]

I can’t wait! 💕

[@julieinman3944]

You have a lot of good books on your list! I'm getting ready to start the unfortunate side effects of heartbreak. I need to make a list of books I want to get to next year.

[@aliciawarren3670]

I really enjoyed The Keeper of Enchanted Rooms, I just purchased the second book, it’s wrapped under the tree lol. Also Bookshops and Bonedust, depending on the day, I’d say it’s better than Legends and Lattes, I just can’t get enough of the world Travis Baldree has created! Happy reading, I love your videos 📚🎄

[@livslibrary]

Thank you so much! 🫶🏻 I didn’t know there was a 2nd book - that’s so cool!

[@RachelJ2016]

I love these end of year videos!! 😍👏🏼 I also never got to secret society of irregular witches so that’s on my TBR for next year as well. I’m also so SO into cozy fantasy right now. I’ve read the house witch series & want to continue with more from that author. Also started cursed cocktails 🍸 which is giving majorrrr legends and lattes vibes! I just got a kindle so I’m reading all the KU cozy fantasies now 😂😂😂

[@livslibrary]

Girl I’ve been keeping an eye on your stories for all the cozy fantasy recs. 🤭 2024 is going to be the YEAR for that genre!

[@RachelJ2016]

@@livslibrary 😍😍🤭 I’m obsessed 😂

[@amber-leecase6362]

Ohhhhhh I loved The Measure!!!!

[@Angelareadsalot]

It takes a lot for me to get into a romance or a cozy, and I absolutely adored Irregular Witches! I hope you will, too. I also really enjoyed The Measure. It’s definitely one of those books that’s makes you think about your own life, which I love. I also liked that it ends on a positive note. We have several of the same books on our TBR. Happy reading! 😊

[@thewolfandherbooks]

I LOVED Secret Society of Irregular Witches. I CRIED. I'm obsessed with that one

[@onecraftybadger3847]

Ruthless Vows is at the top of my list because the ending of Divine Rivals is making me crazy! I also want to get more into Fantasy series like Shadow and Bone, Dance of Thieves, Caraval, etc.

[@rebekahmackenzie]

I hope you like What Lies in the Woods. One of my goals for next year is to work on backlist books. It shouldn't be that much of a problem because I don't think I have any anticipated reads for 2024 surprisingly.

[@Welshopal1]

I am also attempting to read some of the Rebecca Ross back list. Spells are for forgetting and June Farrow are both on my TBR. I am now interested in The Drowned Woods, as my family is also from Wales. Thanks again for a great video Liv. Happy Holidays!

[@allradreads]

Minuscule Mansion of Myra Malone is one of my top reads of the year! Myra inherits the doll house from her grandmother and runs an instagram about it and the other character works in an antique store and one day someone comes in and is looking for furniture that is "mansion-esque" and hes like what do you mean... So she shows him Myras instagram and hes like... that is literally my house. Down to the furniture. And its about them trying to figure out how they're connected etc. It is SO GOOD. I haven't seen anybody talk about it but its in my top reads of 2023 and I'm SO excited for her 2024 release - House Like an Accordion.

[@livslibrary]

STOP IT RIGHT NOW. Her new book coming out sounds INCREDIBLE! I can’t wait to read Myra Malone even more now! 😍😍😍

[@allradreads]

@@livslibrary right!! I’m sooooo excited for it it sounds so good. Her writing was fabulous to me. It’s very magical realism vibe. I feel like it’s kinda like an ashley poston book!

[@livslibrary]

@@allradreadssay no more! 😍

[@TeenaReadsandCrochets]

I didn’t get to The Wishing Game this year, so I hope to read it in January! I’ve heard great things about it!

[@livslibrary]

That made it in my top 3 favorites! 🥹

[@marislawyer1896]

Love being reintroduced to some great backlist titles and/or lesser known authors. I love new releases as much as anyone but sometimes it gets to the point where everyone is talking about the same titles at once. I remember feeling excited about some of these same books, so I need to circle back to them too!

[@iamkaylaceleste]

Bookshops & Bonedust was SO cute. This is a genre I'm a huge fan of now! One of my big goals is getting through Cassandra Clare's books. I did the Mortal Instruments in college, but I'd like to go through all of them since I have about half on my bookshelf. :)

[@livslibrary]

I want to get through her series as well! It’s just so intimidating. 😂

[@ericad3397]

We practically have the same on tbr. A lot of books I’m hoping to read soon. 🕯️💕📚

[@Msminutemovie]

They Call Her Sofia by Doris Ladino is a great read for 2024!! Enjoy!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Dreams Lie Beneath is so freaking good, I love it so much

[@judemorales4U]

Great selections, some to add to my growing list❤ There's so sooo many😅, it'll be a challenge for me.

[@jkmacrunnel]

I counted all my BOTM books I haven't read. I have 122 of them. So those are going to be a priority! Also, the same as you, shopping my shelves this year! I'm really going to be mindful while buying books, and read any books I buy within the same month. So, only buying books I know I'm going to be reading soon!

[@livslibrary]

I love how you counted your BOTM books! I need to do that too!

[@glaringdream1456]

Dreams Lie Beneath and Sisters of Sword and Song were two of my top favs this year! I can't wait until I get to Divine Rivals! (And then, A River Enchanted). Both those first books I read were enough for me to lay my love and trust into Rebecca Ross :P Bring Me Your Midnight was good but for me, Wild is The Witch (same author) was my personal favourite. Not just this year, but a favourite book I've read in a long time actually! Thanks for sharing your video, added some others to my tbr from it!

[@livslibrary]

Rebecca Ross is top tier! You’re in for a treat with Divine Rivals. 👏🏻

[@stephanieavedisian7276]

Spells for Forgetting is definitely at the top of my list. Also want to tackle some of the bigger ones on my shelf like The Goldfinch.

[@livslibrary]

Ooooh I want to watch the movie of The Goldfinch! I never got around to it.

[@booksalicia1763]

What Lies in the Woods was so good! And her new book No One Can Know is so good too!

[@LexiDacy]

I plan to read Enchanted Hill by Emily Bain Murphy. 💫 Also just a shout-out to Tress of the Emerald Sea! That was one of my favorite books of 2023 and I think you will love it! Also Caraval. 1000 times Caraval and the Once Upon a Broken Heart series by Stephanie Garber 🥰💕✨💕🥰

[@melslittlebooknook]

I love Uprooted! I have Spells for Forgetting and The Unmaking of June Farrow on my list

[@thecampinglibrarian]

I really need to shop my own selves and stacks of books.

[@livslibrary]

It really is fun!

[@giantcupofcoffee]

The Cartographers was….okay. The premise was cool, but it’s too easy to figure out who’s who, and the final explanations aren’t awesome. Like it’s never explained exactly why everything had to be such a secret. What Lies in the Woods is very closely modeled on a real case and if you’re familiar with it, you’ll know the ending from page 1. (No spoilers though if you don’t know the case.) Dreams Lie Beneath is my favorite from Rebecca Ross! And Bring Me Your Midnight is lovely. And and Juniper & Thorn has a ballet company! Not that we need to add to our tbr’s but since you like these authors and Adrienne Young, you might like the upper-YA paranormal thrillers from Ginny Myers Sain. I fully returned The Unfortunate Side Effects because I thought the marketing was dishonest and deceptive, and the writing wasn’t great. Like I wouldn’t have bought it if the author hadn’t lied about what the book was. BUT Ink Blood is incredible! 💜💜💜💜

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I havent read Housemaid yet, but its on the list, along with Bookshops and Bonedust and The House Witch series of cozy books. Then I'm starting the first Joe Abercrombie trilogy.

[@aprilskylynn]

Spells for forgetting and Bring me your midnight are also in my 2024 reads 💕📚🎆🥂🎉

[@livslibrary]

Yay! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@catherinebruno1689]

I need to finish A Fire Endless and The Fragile Threads of Power

[@EmmaBoglitt]

I’m planning on reading all the unread books on my shelf and on my kindle, and I’m going to take full advantage of my local library too. No more buying books!

[@livslibrary]

We got this! 👏🏻

[@mcatherine6310]

I'm totally wanting to read more Rebecca Ross, including these two books you showed. And also I want to come back to huuge Outlander series which I paused on 4th book this year 😅

[@livslibrary]

That series is massive! Good luck. 😂

[@lilaccottage]

📚😊

[@Iced.Coffee__]

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches is super cozy and quite funny. I loved it! A 5-star read for me. I have also read Juniper & Thorn, though I wouldn't say I loved it. I dnfed What Lies in the Woods. I am looking forward to reading Keeper of Enchanted Rooms next year. Could somebody recommend some thriller or romantasy for the year 2024?

[@lauraa1345]

I also haven't read anything from Lynn Painter yet but I really want to next year because I've heard nothing but good things about her books🤩 The same for Adrienne Young😁

[@littlelifeofbooks]

I really want to pick up The Housemaid too! 🧼

[@livslibrary]

Buddy read time! 🫶🏻

[@kylieweitz]

After I Do is on my 2024 list too! It is the last TJR book I need to read from her bibliography. We have the lot of the same TBR; which makes sense because I use your recommendations. LIST :After I Do (📚), Better Than the Movies(📚), The Cartographers (🎧), The Measure (🎧), Bring Me Your Midnight (🎧)& The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak & Magic (🎧).

[@livslibrary]

I love your list! 👏🏻

[@ReaderandWriter.]

I've gotten into Abby Jimendez lately. In the same vein as Emily Henry. The Finlay Donovan series is fun as well!

[@livslibrary]

Finlay Donovan yes! 👏🏻 I may love Abby more than Emily too. 🤭

[@ruth7855]

I ended up liking Lynn Painter. I read The Love Wager. It was definitely a better romance. Also I barely made it through Atlas Six.

[@eileennielsen5165]

This is a WONDERFUL idea, to only read from our shelves. I REALLY want to do this, but I think I would break it before March 😐 I have soooo many great bks. to read and I keep buying more and going to the library! Just before I watched you, I ordered 6 new bks, got one yesterday... Oh me, oh my...🤔🤔

[@livslibrary]

I feel that! 😂 I will definitely be focused on buying new releases only!

[@naomiking7518]

❤️❄️🎄❤️❄️🎄

[@thesesweetpages]

I despised The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic. I was so excited about it, I preordered and talked about it for months… then absolutely hated it. It felt thin. Let us know what you think if you do get around to it ♥️

[@lauraa1345]

Unfortunately I also didn't get to read The Very Secret Society Of Irregular Witches this year😢 And Naomi Novik is apparently also a great author i haven't read anything from😂

[@littlelifeofbooks]

Okay but you look so beautiful 🥹

[@livslibrary]

I don’t deserve you. 🥹♥️

[@jacquelineedwards4140]

I enjoyed Spells for Forgetting but felt that it was spoiled by the ending.

[@livslibrary]

I’ve heard mixed things!

[@MayaraKoga]

Yayyy! I got here first!🥰
