So basically the only rule for this list is that I had to read or
finish the books in 2024. Everything else is my opinion. Of course, if
you're interested in my deeper thoughts on these books, check out my
reviews.
Number of times I smashed my Reading Goal: 4
Number of Books Read: 130, bringing my lifetime total to 1108
Number of Pages: 46,121
Shortest Book: The Creature in the Case by Garth Nix - 109 pages
Longest Book: The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming: Book Two: Practice by Sienna Tristen - 873 pages
Favorite New Read: Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire - Another awesome entry into the Wayward Children Series.
Favorite Reread: Sunstone by Stjepan Sejic - Adult Comic Series I started reading via DeviantArt and had been following ever since.
Favorite Non-Fiction: Welsh Fairies by Mhara Sterling - A nice intro to Welsh folklore and, funnily enough, a good companion to Kelley Armstrong's Cainsville series, which I also read this year.
Favorite Series: Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey - I've been in love with this series ever since college, when I actually got into it.
Favorite Author: Seanan McGuire - This hasn't changed since last year, even though I didn't read a lot from her this year.
Most Read Author: Mercedes Lackey - I read most of the Valdemar series this year, including anthologies, so Lackey beat every other author by a long-shot.
Least Favorite Book: Doubletake by Rob Thurman - This is where I completely fell off the Cal Leandros series, which is sad because I had been looking forward to finishing the series, based on my earlier reads of the first few books.
Most Disappointing Read: Calling on Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede - Just not all it was cracked up to be.
DNF Pile: Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft and Lenny Among Ghosts by Frank Maria Reifenberg - One was just confusingly boring and the other's writing style did not mesh with my brain.
Favorite New-to-Me Character: Sunny Cho from Nine Tailed by Jayci Lee. I was pleasantly surprised by Nine Tailed in general, but part of that enjoyment definitely came from Sunny.
Favorite Reread Character: Two again this year: Ally Carter from Sunstone and Princess/Queen Cimorene from The Enchanted Forest Chronicles.
Currently Reading: A Gift of Dragons by Anne McCaffrey, The Masterharper of Pern by Anne McCaffrey, and Call of the Bone Ships by R.J. Barker.
Finished Series: I finished 17 series this year.
Non-Book Stuff
I just wanted to brag that I finished 11 OviPets projects this year. I probably could have done a lot more, but OviPets is really just a chill game for me so... yeah.
