I'm very happy you chose Adichie as your favourite. Most non-African readers are yet to discover what wealth of storytelling is in Africa. Adichie is exceptional and I always gladly claim her my big Auntie everywhere I go. I've recommended her books to more people than my fingers could count.

Time is so important! In July when the Booker Long List comes out, it's easy to be swept up into announcement videos, book reviews, the shortlist, winner predictions and reaction videos (as well as the ceremony!). So many fall lists, end of year, best of lists. When do we read?

My favorite book of the year was the first book I read - Fayne by Ann-Marie MacDonald. It’s a 700-page historical fiction about an intersexed person in 18th-century Scotland and their adventures. I also loved James, which I think will become an American classic. I also discovered contemporary Japanese fiction, which would fill a few spots in my best-of list.

Thank you for sharing your top ten books of the year. You have given me some titles to add to my list. A couple of books that have stood out for me this year is Paradise by Toni Morrison and The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas.

First time viewer; enjoyed watching and hearing about your favorites read in 2024. Some of my favorites were Glorious Exploits, Absolution by Alice McDermott, My Last Animal (have only seen this mentioned on one list), Cuddy, Tin Man, and Tell Me Everything. I also had a great year with Irish books: Soldier Sailor, Long Island, The Coast Road, Ordinary Human Failings and Wild Houses.

What a great and wonderful list speaking of a good reading year for you, too. I read Ward's and Ishiguro's and Tokarczuk's novels from that list and they were all very special. Dickens a long time ago. Need to take a look at Filipenko and Shields.

@@Rainierbooks The Filipenko book is not great storytelling, but I value it for the subject matter, which is the atrocities committed in Soviet Russia. If you know of any great fiction set in Soviet Russia, let me know!
