No matter how many amazing books I read each year, there are always standout favorites. I’ve always thought that we should have award shows like the Oscars for authors and books! After all, so many of these stories deserve more recognition than they receive. Listed below are the recipients of The Bookwyrm Best of 24 Award. There are twelve categories. If the book isn’t pictured, that means I borrowed it, read it on Kindle, or checked it out from my local library. To clarify, just because a book is on this list doesn’t mean it was published in 2024! It simply means I read said book this year. For my ultimate top 5 reads in 2024 (as well as my most anticipated books for next year), check out this blog post I made in January. Every book I’ve listed is incredible! If you’re curious why I picked each story, follow the link to my review of the book. Now, without further ado, I give you… The Bookwyrm’s Best Of 2024!
