Books I Read In 2024

2024 was the first year I set a reading goal, and now, at the start of 2025, I’m reflecting on that journey. Last year, I aimed for 35 books and not only achieved it but surpassed it with 43 books! Feeling ambitious, I raised the bar to 45 for this year.

But as I think about it, I realize something important: reading should be about savoring a great story, not just chasing a number. With that in mind, I’m considering scaling back to a 35-book goal to focus on quality over quantity and truly enjoy the experience.

With that being said, here are the 43 books I read in 2024. Highlighting some of my favorites.
