Mid-Year Reading Check in
Six months of books in a nutshell
Hi !
How is it already July? As we enter the second half of 2024, I am pleased to report that I am on track for My Height in Books Challenge for the first time in... well, ever.
I took the time to recap my top reads of the year so far, and chose these 8 for special mention:
Honorable Book Mentions
(in no particular order)
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas
Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati
Quit Like a Woman: The Radical Choice to Not Drink in a Culture Obsessed with Alcohol by Holly Whitaker
The Fury by Alex Michaelides
The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
Binding 13 by Chloe Walsh
Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis
If you'd like to find out why these books were included, you can read the full article on my blog (with trigger warnings) or you can just take my word for it :)
IN WRITING NEWS
I am hard at work finishing off a ghostwriting project that I've been working on for some time now. I am excited to attend the launch in a few months, but even more excited to report that I am diving back into my new fantasy series from next week.
I will be posting daily writing updates on my TikTok and Instagram if you'd like to know how many words I've written in a day and whether they were good words or utter jank.
Until next time, read hard. I hope whatever your reading goals are this year, that you're smashing them.
