My Favorite Reads of 2024!

  Hello, everyone! I'm a little late with this, but I wanted to share my five favorite books I read in 2024. The latter half of last year was a bit of an eye-opener for me.

About The Blog!

About A Good Book To End The Day It's always challenging when you can't do something you love. Life gets in the way, and the things you once liked no longer offer you the same satisfaction. That's how the past few years have felt. But, as they say, "New Year, New Me!" And I've put in a lot of work to find what makes me happy. One of the first things I remember that made me happy was sitting with my nose in a book, escaping to fantastical worlds, learning life lessons, solving mysteries, and falling in love with my favorite characters. I've reconnected with reading with enthusiasm and eagerness. It has brought me such joy and I want to share that feeling with everyone. I hope to use this blog as a way to share that passion and maybe even the authors' beautiful stories behind the story. Thanks for joining me! -T 💜 Follow Me: X Goodreads
