My top 20 books of 2024
Sharing a list because the end of the year is for lists!
Brian, Megan, and I will be back in a couple weeks with another episode of the Library Card podcast. In the meantime, I wanted to share my (RJ’s) top 20 books of 2024. Hope you all are ready for a great 2025, for reading and beyond.
I’ve been saving your recommendations and am currently halfway through Five Decembers. I’m really enjoying it. Noir to the core! (That rhymes if you say it wrong)
Thanks for sharing these!
