My Favorite Reads of 2024

A year in books: Lisett Reads completed 33 books, totaling 11,527 pages. The shortest book was "The Time Guardian" with 55 pages, and the longest was "Strange the Dreamer" with 532 pages. Highlights include "Once Upon a Broken Heart" and "The Spell Shop," among others.

2024 was a pretty good year for me. I read 33 books, surpassing my goal of 25 by 8 books. It was extremely hard to choose just 10 to add to this list because I read some great books this year. I'm excited for a new year and new books to devour. Without further ado, my top ten list of books and audiobooks of 2024:

10 Once Upon a Broken Heart

This was such a fun start to the series. I enjoyed Caraval and loved jumping back into the world, with cameos from my favorite characters, and spending more time getting to know the Prince of Hearts. The Ballad of Never After is up next on my TBR for 2025

9 Tress of the Emerald Sea

I finally read this delightful fantasy that has been on my TBR for a long time, and I'm so happy I did. I loved the humor, the story, and the characters.

8 For She is Wrath

This Count of Monte Cristo retelling was full of feminine rage and revenge. I absolutely loved the narrator and would enjoy listening to more audiobooks from her in the future.

7 The Tainted Cup

This fantasy, murder mystery combines my favorite genres, throws in some interestingly quirky characters, and keeps you guessing the whole time. I'm eagerly awaiting the next book in the series, A Drop of Corruption.

6 The Otherwhere Post

This book was a mix of mystery, fantasy, romance, and dark academia, the perfect recipe for a great read.

5 The Wilderness of Girls

Not a book I would recommend to everyone due to trigger warnings, but a story I won't soon forget.

4 A Language of Dragons

Despite the main character and her maddeningly terrible decisions, I absolutely have got to know what happens next. I love books with dragons, and hope it wont be a long wait until the next book in this series.

3 First Lie Wins

My favorite type of fast paced, keeps you guessing, mystery/suspense. I loved it.

2 Legends and Lattes

After reading The Spellshop I was in the mood for more cozy reading vibes, and decided it was the perfect time to finally read Legends and Lattes, the book I have been seeing everywhere. This was just the kind of story I was looking for, and have added Bookshops and Bonedust to my 2025 TBR.

1. The Spellshop

This was my favorite read of 2024. The perfect cozy, romantasy, with lovable characters. I can hardly wait for The Enchanted Greenhouse in July of 2025!

Happy Reading!
