In 2024 I read 46 novels, non-fiction books and plays. Here is a selection of my favourite 24 of those books. Clearly, it is a selection which spans literary classics, modern classics, contemporary fiction, young adult to romcoms and beach reads. In 2025 I hope to read a little more - the goal is 52 books.
