I started this post back in January and just really haven't had the energy to finish it! There's something incredibly exhausting about writing meaningful thoughts on a dozen different books. Even when the thoughts are short!
I logged 34 reads in 2024. I finished most of those. I started renting audio books from the library. I started borrowing Kindle ebooks from the library too.
Instead of well thought out words - here's a bulleted list of my favorites!
- The Hainish Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin - I really liked Rocannon's World, but The Dispossessed and The Left Hand of Darkness were also highlights.
- The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin - loved The Fifth Season the most
- The Soldier Son Trilogy by Robin Hobb - Forest Mage was my favorite of this series. I'm a big Robin Hobb fan.
- Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir - this is my favorite in this series so far
- Ghost in the Wires by Kevin Mitnick and William L. Simon - this was a really fascinating read about early hacking
- City of Theives by David Benioff
- The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins
- The Goblin Emperor by Sarah Monette
- Perilous Times by Thomas D. Lee - Arthurian knights in modern times, good popcorn
- The Manager's Path by Camille Fournier - did this on audio book and found it useful to consider relationships with my managers from their perspective
- Neuromancer by William Gibson - really funny to read this and go "wow pretty cliché" only to remember this is where the clichés started
- The Lonely Castle in the Mirror by Mizuki Tsujimura
