24 Books to read in 2024

[@browngirlreading]

Happy New Year! Bonne Anne! Felice Anno Nuovo! 🎉I was supposed to read Sea of Tranquility with my book club in Normandy but sadly missed it because I was sick. I still need to read it. They loved it. I need to read a SA Cosby too. Christi and I almost chose to discuss Scarlet Sister Mary. I can't remember why we chose not to do it. Great list of books for 2024! Happy Reading Leo!

Thank you, Didi! 💕 Scarlet Sister Mary is a novel that seems almost forgotten, we must remedy that! Happy New Year!

So many wonderful books in store for you. I am excited to hear your thoughts on so many! The Painted Viel was my only read by Maugham (& loved it!) until a friend of mine gave me a beautiful 1st ed of Up at the Villa. I devoured it.

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

Thank you, Christine. My expectations of the Painted Veil are high. And a first edition! I love those.

What a marvelous list of books! I hope you get the chance to read all 24 of them, Leo, and that you enjoy every single page (especially Muse of Nightmares 😉).

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

Thank you, Hannah! Did you read Muse of Nightmares also?

[@hellobookworm]

@@Leoslittlebooklife Oh yes! Any time Laini Taylor publishes a book, I take time off to read it. In the case of Muse, I was fortunate to receive an ARC. I can still vividly remember the day I read it, and I've since explored its pages again by listening to the audiobook (both the Strange and the Muse audiobooks are fantastic).

Thanks Leo😂 I'm over here adding some to my TBR😊

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

That’s great, Peta! 💕

Thanks for this list! Have not heard most of these books, but will go through them and see which ones I may chose. Maugham is great. Have read almost all of his books! You will certainly enjoy it. :)

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

Thank you, Delina! ☺️

Great list, Leo. Really curious to hear your thoughts on Sea of Tranquility and The Shards.

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

I will tell you when I’ll be reading them, Jesper 😊

Hello! I'm new to your booktube channel. Thank you for letting me know about November! I have read Hex, and Echo by this author and they are amazing!

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

Hi! Thank you and welcome!

[@HardcoverHearts]

Amazing! We have such an exciting reading year ahead- together and on our own. ❤🎉

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

Right?! 🎉

What a great list! Curious to hear your thoughts on The Shards. I hated the experience of reading it, but enjoyed the ending and have thought of it often. Still not a book I like, but a book I find interesting. Discovered Louise Erdrich over COVID and have fallen completely in love. That one is a great place to start! (Have always been curious about Tad Williams, maybe I’ll grab one this year.)

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

That makes me even more interested in both books. I have the feeling that The Shards is not an easy read. And Erdrich! Can’t wait!

[@robgst100]

@@Leoslittlebooklife yes, exactly. Sometimes a frustrating, flawed read can be even more interesting and memorable. Definately not always, but it’s a fascinating experience when it happens.

[@thelefthandedreader6632]

What a list! I started The Shards this Summer and really enjoyed the writing but didn’t keep going. It got crowded out. I’d like to get to it too. I reading Handful of Dust right now. 😊. My first Waugh.

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

Ooh, Renee! I am really curious what you’ll say about A Handful of Dust on your channel! 📺👀👂🏻

[@thelefthandedreader6632]

[@orsino88]

Margaret Oliphant is terrific. Don’t miss her great stories of the uncanny as well.

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

Thank you! I will look for them.

@@Leoslittlebooklife - Oxford publishes A Beleaguered City and other stories, I believe. Virago published the rest of the Carlingford series, and one or two others, all worthwhile.

[@Leoslittlebooklife]

@@orsino88 Thank you!

[@ReadingRetail]

I read all old books that am unpopular 🤣🤣

[@readwritecollage]

This looks like a great selection of books, Leo. I was excited to see a Du Maurier on the list. I’m hoping to get to Jamaica Inn this year. Also - I’m really LOVING the format of your videos with that stunning background. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much, Loretta!
