2024 Reads…What I’ve Read this Year (So Far)

I honestly cannot believe that I am halfway through the month of April and NOW is when I realize that I never posted anything about the books I’ve read this year. I will say that I have been lucky enough to be several books ahead in this year’s reading challenge, thanks in most part to the books I’ve listened to on Audible since that was one of my goals for the year (listening to books, as well as reading them). But now we are four and a half months in and it’s the first time I share with you everything I’ve read! Talk about an epic fail for me,

As of today, I am officially 36 books into my reading challenge. I’ve been doing SO good that I actually upped my reading goal to 100 from 80 books! Here I’ll recap which books, by month, I have finished this year:

April (so far)

For the month of April, as of today April 17th, I have read the following books:

1. Mindf*ck Series (all five books for the second time) by S.T. Abby – 5 STARS
2. Powerless by Lauren Roberts – 5 STARS
3. Say You Swear by Meagan Brandy – 5 STARS
4. Rule Book by Sarah Adams – 5 STARS
5. The Graham Effect by Elle Kennedy – 5 STARS

In my opinion, the books and series I’ve read this year so far have been excellent. I will definitely say that 2024 reading is the best I’ve had in a while. Although I try very hard not to give everything, I like 5 stars (I’m trying to be more open minded) I have had significant success in the books I’ve read thus far. I mean, I already posted a raving review for the Mindf*ck Series here and April has been a solid 5-star month with the books I’ve already finished.

I do want to note although I’ve had some good five star reads, the following two are the ones that I would (and probably will, if I have not already, will read a second (or third) time): he Mindf*ck Series by S.T. Abby (already read the series a second time, will most definitely read a third time) and Say Your Swear by Meagan Brandy. They were amazing and honestly so good; I will happily read them again. In the Likely Event by Rebecca Yarros is also an amazing, five stars read that I would happily recommend to people.
