2024 was an outstanding year for reading! Out of the 67 books I read and reviewed, 42 of them (63%) were 4 or 5 star reads. Only 3 books (4%) received a 2 star rating from me. One third of the books were 3 star reads. In looking back over the quarterly lists, I highly recommended ten books:

Loving Him Well by Gary Thomas - Christian Nonfiction



A Lifelong Love by Gary Thomas - Christian Nonfiction



Only the Beautiful by Susan Meissner - Historical Fiction



If I Were You by Lynn Austin - Historical Fiction



Listening for Lions by Gloria Whelan - Middle Grade Historical Fiction



Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - Fiction Classic



Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt - Fiction



Catching Foxes by John Henderson - Christian Nonfiction



Waiting Isn't a Waste by Mark Vroegop - Christian Nonfiction


I would like to give an honorable mention to the following five books:

The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles - Historical Fiction
Authentically, Izzy by Pepper Basham - Humorous Christian Romance
The Divine Proverb of Streusel by Sara Brunsvold - Christian Fiction
Hope is the First Dose by Dr. W. Lee Warren - Christian Nonfiction
