The 2024 books! Here’s everything I read this year, minus picture books (though it was a great year for them 😜…Chloe and the Fireflies came out, but also I loved Spider in the Well, We Are Definitely Human, the new Charlie and Mouse book, As Edward Imagined, The Teeny Weeny Unicorn, Pig Town Party, and probably some more that I missed).
- Went on Jillian Tamaki and Adrian Tomine sprees
- Read some standout poetry collections (I Do Everything I’m Told! Couplets! Homie!)
- Finally got into The First Cat in Space series, and wow, the silly cartoon episodic sensibility is perfect
-Reread a bunch of graphic novels in November, and they totally held up
- Loved a lot of beginnings of books (and was let down by the endings, which was also a trend in my reading last year)
- Ran to the library a zillion times, read DRCs on time-ish and wrote shelf talkers
- Moved 5-8 boxes of books, but also got rid of 2-3 bagfuls
- Went all over the place genre-wise (though thematically, skewed weird as ever, and really shouldn’t have expected less after starting the year with Miranda July’s latest)
