I read a lot of book this year, many not published in 2024. Of the ones published in 2024, James was the best.

All Fours, Miranda July. Sexy, weird, insightful, honest. Hit me like a bullet train.

No one has ever understood me as much as that book


That was a great one. A thoughtful meditation on life’s purpose in the guise of time management. Really well written too.

So well written, slyly funny, enjoyed revisiting this classic narrated from the point of view of a slave.


Let me fix that for you: *an enslaved person*

Matrix. The prose was gorgeous and the story compelling. I love anything that touches on mysticism.

Oh, and thank heaven for women writers who write about women whose stories revolve around something other than their relationships with men.

The Women. I’d go to the library to get books on hold and there were always a dozen copies waiting to be picked up. All. Summer.

My favorites that were published in 2024 were James (F) and Challenger (NF).

I’m not ready for this yet! Trying to squeeze in 2-4 books before NYE. Who knows— maybe one will be my best book of the year!

What is the best book you read in 2024 and why? I unfortunately read several not great books this year, but I think the best one I've read is Legacy, by Uche Blackstock. Harvard educated doctor walks in mother's footsteps and discusses disparities in U.S. health system. Very eye-opening.
