Books I've read 2024

This is the full bookcase - top two shelves are my Raymond E Feists, Jodi Picoults and other books I want to keep. Middle shelf is the TBRs. Fourth shelf is a selection of to keep books. Bottom shelf is cookbooks and admin stuff.

The TBR shelf.


I've signed up for The Big Green Bookshop adult subscription so I'll get a new book each month! I get my great nieces and nephew the kids one for their birthday and Xmas pressies (Simon alternates the ages so they can all share) and decided they shouldn't get all the fun!!

January
A Spark of Light - Jodie Picoult
The Comfort Book - Matt Haig
Ladysmith - Giles Foden
A Column of Fire - Ken Follett
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe - Fannie Flagg

When I moved into this flat (16 months ago!!!) I put some of my taller books on a different shelf under the window. As I'm doing the whole TBR thing I thought I'd better have a look and check what was on the shelf - discovered a load of books I'd completely forgotten about, which I've now moved over so had to take the photo's agin!!! I may have also discovered books on Vinted so have bought a couple of sets as well 😏

2024 was not a good year!!! But the bookcase is looking emptier and I think I only bought one physical book all year which was on a gift voucher as a present. The bookcase did get re-arranged when I moved it so it's a bit different to when I started!

33 books read...

The bookcase at the end of the year


The bottom two are the main TBR shelves. 

On to 2025...
