posted by soe 1:23 am

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday from That Arty Reader Girl asks us to share the books that came out last year that we were excited to read — but then didn’t get to. Here are some of mine, all of which I hope make it onto this year’s finished list:

  1. Rainbow Rowell’s Slow Dance
  2. T.J. Klune’s Somewhere Beyond the Sea
  3. Red Side Story by Jasper Fforde
  4. 1000 Words by Jami Attenberg (In fairness, I did start this one and decided I was going to want my own copy, which I now have.)
  5. A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvie Cathrall
  6. How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin
  7. Amor Towles’ Table for Two
  8. The Briar Club by Kate Quinn (Currently reading and overdue back to the library)
  9. The Bletchley Riddle by Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin
  10. 50 Beasts to Break Your Heart and Other Stories by GennaRose Nethercott

How about you? Were there books that came out during 2024 you fully intended to read and then … life?

Your comment about 1000 Words by Jami Attenberg made me instantly look it up.

How To Solve Your Own Murder sounds really interesting! I hope you’ll be able to read all these books this year 🙂
