44 books read in 2024

2024... What a book!

So my first announcement is that I wrote and 'finished' my own book. Novella actually. And in the editing and revising and printing etc. I read it SO MANY TIMES!!!! and you will find it as the first entry for this year. Second announcement is that in 2024 I read many duds (or half-read duds) so I put a star by the ones I feel are worthy of recommendation.
