2024 overview via Storygraph
2024 Goals! Well- it looks like a I didn't do so hot this year 👎
- Finish Middlemarch Nope
- 2024 52 Bookclub- (read 4ish a month to better keep up, be more intentional choosing)- Started off strong, fell off 2nd half of the year- scrambling in December to finish (again); but I did finish even though the final two took me into the first few days of 2025
- Read one growth book each month to go with the attribute of identity I'm focusing on (ie January is STRONG- Rising Strong by Brene Brown) 4/12
- Read more of the books I already own (in 2023 I read 24 of my own books, 23% overall) 31 books; 26.3%- so I did improve slightly
- Read a President/First Lady book Nope- started a couple...
- A-Z Challenge- alas 6 short
- Goodreads and Storygraph goal set at 100- surpassed and hit my all time high at 118
Seeing all my 2024 covers makes me so happy- re-reads screws it up as goodreads apparently sees the first date read, not last. So they are all at the beginning (4). Otherwise I think they are mostly in order read this year.
Favorite Books of 2024 - 5 star reads 
- The Tangled Tale of the Woolgathering Castoffs, Sharon J. Mondragón
- The People We Keep, Allison Larkin
- Only the Beautiful, Susan Meissner
- The Roads We Follow, Nicole Deese
- Funny Story, Emily Henry
- Remarkably Bright Creatures, Shelby Van Pelt
- The Women, Kristin Hannah
- Still Standing, Courtney Joseph Fallick
- How to Read a Book, Monica Wood
- All the Colors of the Dark, Chris Whitaker
- Across the Ages, Gabrielle Meyer
- Once Upon a Wardrobe, Patti Callahan
* The Unlikely Yarn of the Dragon Lady was a re-read so I didn't include it in the list- still an all time fav.
Some other 2024 stats
Over 60% of books from my library/libby/hoopla
Most read genres (this is from fable app, I started using because the faith & fables instagram bookclub decided to give it a go. I don't know that I will continue using to track books because I still love goodreads and storygraph and it feels like this is getting out of control. BUT I kinda liked a couple of these graphic it created....)
Reading Intentions for 2025
- I set my goodreads goal at 100 again
- The 2025 52 bookclub - I want to try and do this 50% or more Christian books
- Avid Readers of Christian Fiction challenge (Facebook group)
- Read more non fiction (only 9 this year/8%)
- Read more faith based books (45% in 2024)
- Slow down, re-read when I feel like it, really pay attention to what I am reading
