And we’re back with Part 2 of my top 10 books to read in 2024! I won’t give you much preamble, except to say if you haven’t read Part 1, you can check it out here. This list takes us through June, which means I’ll be back with a new …
Well. This post is very late. Normally this is my way of kicking off a new year of reading in January, but 2024 has been…let’s just say it’s been a lot. Things haven’t eased up in the last few months, but something about spring is reawakening my motivation to read …
Thrillers are typically my go-to reads outside of books for the podcast. They’re fast, and it’s always fun trying to figure out the twist. I didn’t predict any of the twists and turns on this top 5 list of chilling books. I have read multiple books by all of these …
