Happy Friday! I saw this on list/challenge on Instagram and thought I'd make a goal of ten books I want to read by the end of the year. We'll see if I get to all of them. Can't believe we have less than two months left of 2024!

The Muse of Maiden Lane by Mimi Matthews
I've loved all the books in the series and really anything I've read by Mimi Matthews. I'll be picking this one up soon.
Cursed (Alex Verus #2) by Benedict Jacka
I'm so happy I've finally started the Alex Verus series since I've wanted to read it for some time! Just waiting on my library lend to come through.
The Outlaw Nobel Salt by Amy Harmon
I enjoy historical Westerns and I've enjoyed everything I've read by Harmon. She's written a variety genres.
The Taken Ones (Steinbeck and Reed #1) by Jess Lourey
I've seen this series on Anne's blog and it's a "read & listen" on Kindle Unlimited. Love a good mystery/crime procedural!

The Mirror (The Lost Bride Trilogy #2) by Nora Roberts
I read and loved the first book which ended on a cliffhanger! I'm eager to start this installment!
Devil's Due (Red Letter Days #2)
I read the first book back in 2012 and requested the second book. It's been sitting on my shelf on Netgalley since 2013. Yikes! I'm trying to knock out my old ARCs. Wish there was an audio version.
The House at Watch Hill (The Watch Hill Trilogy) by Karen Marie Moning
I loved her Fever series, (books 1-7, at least. 8 and 9, not so much, never read the last 2) so I was curious. I'm listening to it right now and enjoying it.

Schemes & Scandals (A Rip Through Time #3.5) by Kelley Armstrong
I've been enjoying this series! A modern day homicide detective somehow gets transported back to Victorian Scotlad. I'm eager to see what Mallory and Gray get up to next!
The Outsider (Holly Gibney #1)
I've been wanting to read Stephen King and I thought the Holly Gibney series would be a good way to try him.
Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper (Ellie Jordan, Ghost Trapper #1) by J.L. Bryan
Another series that's been on my TBR for ages.
Here's my 10 Before the End. What books would you like to get to before the end of 2024?
I hope you can read them.

I hope so too!
DeleteCursed and The Taken Ones are both awesome! And you know I enjoy the Ellie Jordan books. Good luck getting all of these read before the end of the year. (I can't believe how fast this year is going.)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get to all of them! I know, I can't believe how fast the year went by! :)
DeleteI loved Cursed, The Taken Ones, and Schemes & Scandal's. As for Devil's Due there IS an audio version releasing November 21 which I just got the audio ARC today! I also got the audio ARC of the first book and am reviewing them both the week of the 17th. You might be able to get it at the library later in November or in December.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
Thanks for letting me know about that, Anne! I was able to tag it on my library app for when it gets released! That'll make it much easier to knock off!
DeleteOoo, that's a neat challenge. What a fab line-up you've picked. I want to read several of those, too. Muse of Maiden Lane was super.
ReplyDeleteI hope they're good, they're all new to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope they are, too!
DeleteI've read a few...fantastic list!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI hope you enjoy them all Rachel. I really enjoyed The Mirror and hope you do as well.
ReplyDeleteHow are there only two months left! I've lagged a bit in my pace to try to double up on a book a week this year, so I need to kick things into high gear!
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of these, but good luck with your goal!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to read through Rockton so that would be it
ReplyDeleteThe outcome unfortunately was terrible! We must distract ourselves a lot now. I'm so glad to hear about the kittens there. Do you think Smokey will get acclimatized to people & the house? Or are they be wild kitties? I think doing a puzzle while listening to an audio is fantastic. It's been awhile but I remember finding it very relaxing. I must start again.
ReplyDeleteThe Outlaw Noble Salt is one of my top reads of the year. I hope you'll love it, too!
ReplyDeleteOutlaw Noble Salt is one that I have wanted to read for awhile now. I think I will also try to read it before the end of the year. We can compare reviews. Good luck getting them all read, Rachel.
