Can't believe we're at the end of 2024! Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays with time off and having fun with friends and family!
I've been MIA for a bit. I've been busy with family gatherings and now at a Montana trip. For the next couple days I'm featuring my favorite reads of 2024. I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl) today since the topic is Favorites of 2024.
I'm starting with Mystery/Thrillers since it's my largest list.
Tomorrow I'll be featuring more...if I can get to it. I might end up posting later in the week.

What are some of your favorites from 2024?
You read a lot of great mysteries and thrillers last year, Rachel!
ReplyDeleteYes! It was my most read category!
DeleteI'm so behind on Kelley Armstrong's books, I still need to read both the ones on your list. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteSomething to look forward to, then! Thank you!
DeleteI really enjoyed Mind Games by Nora Roberts. My other favorite mystery/thrillers of the year were The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen and If Something Happens to Me by Alex Finlay.
ReplyDeleteHi Tanya! Miss your blog posts! Mind Games was so good! I also loved If Something Happens to Me. I should've included it.
DeleteThanks Rachel. I'm still not sure if I want to commit to returning to my blog (because reading without a single concern about reviewing is quite wonderful! lol) but I do try to stay in touch thru comments. :)
DeleteHappy New Year. Enjoy Montana.

Thank you, Regine! It's really cold here, but very pretty!

It was a great mystery! I enjoyed it more than I expected. Thank you, Pam! I hope you have a wonderful 2025, as well! Can you believe 2024 is almost over?!
DeleteI'm super interested in The Boy Who Cried Bear by Kelley Armstrong! Thanks for all the recs, saving them all to my TBR. Wish you a very happy '25 ahead, full of very good books. ~Lex (lexlingua.co)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great story, but I recommend starting from the beginning of the Rockton series to really appreciate the story. Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful 2025, too!
DeleteMost of these are my favorites too. But I see a few to add to my list.

Not surprising since we have similar taste in books. :)
DeleteThis is a great category for you with all the mystery/thrillers you read. It must have been hard. I actually read two of these (Lenny Marks and The Mystery Guest).
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed them, Sam!
DeleteAgony Hill has an intriguing title.

Love Sarah Stewart Taylors mysteris!
DeleteI love a good mystery/thriller! I've read six of these and several of the others are on my TBR list. Great minds and all that :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Hi Susan! Yes, great minds and book tastes!
DeleteGood list. You read a lot this year. I'm interested to read First Lie Wins which I didn't get to this year -- but I heard was very good. Glad you liked it !
ReplyDeleteThe first Kelley Armstrong book is on my TBR. Also the Serial Killer's Guide to San Francisco looks good. Great list!
ReplyDeleteLisa Loves Literature
Ordinary Bear sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHere is our post: https://www.longandshortreviews.com/miscellaneous-musings/top-ten-tuesday-best-books-i-read-in-2024/
So many of those look interesting. Happy New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteThree of those made my Top 2024 lists, too. And, I've got three of those on my TBR to read at some point.
ReplyDeleteFun seeing what made your lists especially since this was your big genre category.
Enjoy the rest of the MT stay!
I have read and enjoyed 8 of these and have another 4 on my TBR shelf. Great list, Rachel. So glad you have been enjoying your holidays. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWe have quite a few in common from this list!
ReplyDeleteI loved Lone Wolf, The Mystery Guest, and The Boy Who Cried Bear, too! And I have several other of these books on my TBR list that I hope to read in 2025. I am so grateful for our bookish friendship! Have a Happy New Year, Rachel. :D
ReplyDeleteKelley Armstrong!!!!
ReplyDeleteMontana will be fun
Looks like so many good mysteries here! The cover of The Missing Witness caught my attention, so I’ve added the first Quinn and Costa book to my TBT list.
