Adding two more books to my best of 2024: Jesse Q. Sutanto's 2025 Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping [on a Dead Man] is hilarious. The second is Dan Jurafsky's The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu, bringing together food and words, two favorite subjects.

GOOD MATERIAL by Dolly Alderton

THE HANDMAID’S TALE by @margaretatwood.bsky.social exceeded the hype. I was struck by the frightening parallels, of course, but also the repeated truth that there are many who can see the light and will sacrifice to keep it burning.
#ReadingRecommendations #BestBooks2024 #WhattoRead
THE PEOPLE WE KEEP by @allielarkinwrites.bsky.social was a gem of a novel. Richly woven lives with quirky characters I wanted to spend all day with. Heartbreaking but ultimately packed with hope and resilience.
#ReadingRecommendations #BestBooks2024 #WhattoRead
THE SUN ALSO RISES by Ernest Hemingway - the first of his novels I’ve read, and yes, the guy can write, but I was struck by the parallels between this lost generation and our current moment, and heartened by our ability to go on.

FAMILY MEAL by Bryan Washington was a powerful portrayal of grief in various forms, and a testament to the unconventional families we build. I loved these characters, no matter how much I wanted to shake them, and this book shook me a little too.
#ReadingRecommendations #BestBooks2024 #WhattoRead
THE SONG OF ACHILLES by @madelinemiller.bsky.social reignited a love for ancient mythology I haven’t felt since childhood. A riveting reclamation of the gay heroes who’ve been all but written out of our oldest stories.

Best books of 2024 The Women by Kristin Hannah From the comfort of privilege to the chaos of war, The Women traces Frankie McGrath's transformative journey as she confronts the harrowing realities of serving as a nurse in Vietnam and the daunting challenge of rebuilding her life in the aftermath. A Librarian's Husband's Book Club Selection
Best of 2024: The Women by Kristin Hannah is a powerful tale of Frankie McGrath, an Army nurse in Vietnam. It vividly captures the horrors of war, the courage of women in combat, and the struggle of rebuilding a life after. Moving, unflinching, unforgettable. #BestBooks2024 #BookSky 💙📚
Ed ecco l'ultimo, innevatissimo, libro dei #10del2024.
Se amate Rigoni Stern vi invito a riscoprire Giovanni Orelli, svizzero del Ticino, e questo breve romanzo bianco e delicato.

Dopo la saga di Blackwater l'anno scorso, Michael McDowell continua a conquistarsi un posto nelle mie classifiche annuali. Sono già in attesa spasmodica per Katie, in uscita per Neri Pozza il 14 gennaio.

MRS. DALLOWAY by Virginia Woolf - I’d been struggling with interiority in my own writing and this was the tonic - a gorgeous exploration of every character’s inner thoughts and feelings across a solitary day. So pacey I finished it in one day too.
#ReadingRecommendations #BestBooks2024 #WhattoRead
THINKING SHAKESPEARE by Barry Edelstein was that rare thing - incredibly informative while still being a joy to read. With wit and generosity, it offers a definitive guide to Shakespeare with plenty of practical exercises for theatre practitioners
#ReadingRecommendations #BestBooks2024 #WhattoRead
FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON by Daniel Keyes is a classic for a reason. I don’t often cry at books, but this one got me. An ahead-of-its-time reflection on the limits of technology and the double-edged sword of knowledge and enlightenment.
#ReadingRecommendations #BestBooks2024 #WhattoRead
SECRET CITY: THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF GAY WASHINGTON by James Kirchick was a riveting account of more than 60 years of US history and the LGBTQ+ figures who have been relegated to the shadows for too long. Essential reading.
#ReadingRecommendations #BestBooks2024 #WhattoRead
I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL by Natalie Sue was a hilarious and heartbreaking look at corporate lunacy and millennial malaise. I loved the unflinching narrative voice, and embracing this protagonist, flaws and all. #ReadingRecommendations #BestBooks2024 #WhattoRead
I read 46 books in 2024 - my personal best since 2020. Highlighting a few of my favorites - a mix of new and new to me with some classics thrown in. It was a great year as long as my head was in a book.
