Top 5 Favorite Books of 2024 1. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab 2. Powerless by Lauren Roberts 3. This Time It’s Real by Ann Liang 4. Addicted After All by Krista & Becca Ritchie 5. Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez
@litzy_lara it's a great romantasy book! So if you started out reading Romance and want a transition book into fantasy I would recommend! Otherwise Divine Rivals is also good because it's like the real world with fantasy elements which also makes it a good transition series.
my top 5 favs - the things we leave unfinished - rebecca yarros - just for the summer (life’s too short and the happy ever after playlist were also favs)- abby jimenez - the seven year slip - ashley poston - funny story (also happy place and book lovers)- emily henry - love and other words - christina lauren
I 110000% understand Into the Dark's #1 rating. As someone who recently lost my father, Jessa showed grief in the most accurate and personal way (for me). I was talking to my dad the way Magnolia was talking about *******, texting him the same, grieving him the same, and it was just a LOT. I had to take breaks here and there just because of PTSD, but when I was done, it truly felt like a big, tight hug and I still can't get over that feeling. 1000/10 recommend and 10000000000% agree that it deserves the #1 spot!!!
You are the reason I picked up Magnolia Parks and now we have the same top book of the year. I'm so in love with the series and the characters so thank you so much for sharing your love for the series!!
Watching your videos this december has become such a nice thing to look forward to. This month has not started the best, and watching your videos has been such a nice break.
I’m so happy Firefly Lane is one of your faves!! I read that a couple months ago and it is easily one of my top faves and now I need to read every Kristin Hannah book!
the way you almost started crying talking about MP Into the Dark 🥹 you introduced me to the series and it has also gained such a special place in my heart. It has cemented itself in my mind for life. I have no one but you to thank for that
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi is probably going to be one of my top books of the year. The audiobook specifically was amazing! I read it in January and still think about it all the time. I also adored Daydream by Hannah Grace! The quality of the relationships she created in that book were *chef's kiss*
this was so fun!!!! i loved seeing ur fave books and comparing them to last years favourites🤭 my top 5 books this year were: 1. just for the summer 2. play along 3. the fake out 4. into the dark 5. as long as the lemon trees grow
This might sound a little weird but the cadence of your voice is so njce. Your accent is nice to listen to as well. Your s and p’s and are so smooth. Lol I think you would be really good at narrating some of these books.
no because ur thoughts about the ex vows is literally MEEEE, when i read it i was like .. huh? the writing was so beautiful and the sweetest man ever 🥺
I loved this video. It was so much fun listening to you talk about your top books of the year and deciding to check out some of the ones you spoke of based off of your descriptions
sara your just my ABSOLUTE fav book tuber or TH-camr in general, I feel so so safe on your account I love your personality and everything about you your such a great person and you're a reason why I fell back in love with reading in summer 2022 thank you for being who you are LOVE YA💞
my top 5 reads for 2024: Normal People - Sally Rooney Alone With You In The Ether - Olivie Blake Just For The Summer - Abby Jimenez Blue Sisters - Coco Mellors The Song Of Achilles - Madeline Miller some of my DNF’s in 2024 (😭) The Guest - Emma Cline The 7 1/2 Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle Good Material - Dolly Alderton The Do Over - Lynn Painter My Year Of Rest and Relaxation
Hi Sarah I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting so much effort into bookmas.my bunny who I’ve had since I was 7 just passed away yesterday and I e never felt so miserable but I’ve watched your TH-cam video every day and they always cheer me up even if it’s just for half an hour so thank you ❤
Love the Beartown appreciation! You’re so so right about the way he finishes a sentence, it’s just immaculate 🥹 My fave book this year was A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross 💭
Top 5 (In no particular order because I'm to indecisive 🤣) 1.) The Things we Leave Unfinished- Rebecca Yarros 2.) The Right Move- Liz Tomforde 3.) Yours Truly- Abby Jimenez 4.) The Secret Fiance- Catharina Maura 5.) The Devious Husband- Catharina Maura Biggest disappointment of the year was definitely Not In Love by Ali Hazelwood 😥
Heartstopper rlly comes out of nowhere and hits you like A TRUCK!! Lol I love that series and those characters so darn much. But your list is great, added so many of these to my tbr I can’t believe 2024 is almost done omg😭🫶🏽
My Top 5 Reads in 2024: 1) Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider (Fantasy) 2) Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (Fantasy) 3) Love, Hypothetically by Ali Hazelwood (Contemporary Romance) 4) The Serpent and the Wings of the Night by Carissa Broadbent (Fantasy) 5) If You Could See the Sun by Ann Liang (Magical Realism)
If you haven't already read it. Read The Women by Kristin Hannah. Female friendship at its best! Such a journey of growth for the main female character.
My top 5 books I’ve read in 2024 for the first time (if I put rereads this wouldn’t even be a competition) 1. The Spirit Bares It’s Teeth 2. The Invisible Life Of Addie LaRue 3. The Grandest Game 4. Better Than The Movies 5. The Wrath Of The Triple Godess
If you want to give sci-fi another try, i really recommend project hail mary, it reads like mystery & adventure, Red rising reads more like an epic fantasy, scifi is just a tiny bit of it. Which is why maybe you don’t vibe with it. I prefer project hail mary rather than red rising.
My top five is 1. Never by Jessa Hastings 2. Love redesigned by Lauren Asher 3. Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson 4. Everything We Never Said by Sloan Harlow 5. The Assassin’s Blade (read this one first & bawled my eyes out) 😭🫶🏻

hi from italyyy! i was waiting for this notifcation🎀🎀 i LOVED the ex vows, i read it because of you!
If you haven't already read it. Read The Women by Kristin Hannah. Female friendship at its best! Such a journey of growth for the main female character.
My top 5 books I’ve read in 2024 for the first time (if I put rereads this wouldn’t even be a competition)
1. The Spirit Bares It’s Teeth
2. The Invisible Life Of Addie LaRue
3. The Grandest Game
4. Better Than The Movies
5. The Wrath Of The Triple Godess
You need to read the Great Alone! My favorite Kristen Hannah🥹
If you want to give sci-fi another try, i really recommend project hail mary, it reads like mystery & adventure,
Red rising reads more like an epic fantasy, scifi is just a tiny bit of it. Which is why maybe you don’t vibe with it.
I prefer project hail mary rather than red rising.
My top five is
1. Never by Jessa Hastings
2. Love redesigned by Lauren Asher
3. Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson
4. Everything We Never Said by Sloan Harlow
5. The Assassin’s Blade (read this one first & bawled my eyes out) 😭🫶🏻
Red Rising still hurts. I do hope that you try continue because Golden Son story really deviates so much that I think you'd love it!
You absolutely have to read The Women by Kristin Hannah!!! It might be my favorite next to The Nightingale!
Fun fact: my grandparents met the way the main characters in Funny Story met!
If you love books about female friendships spanning years, you HAVE to read My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante. (And then the rest of the quartet if you like it!)
