    My favourite books of 2024

    10 January 2025 /

    At the start of each year, I enjoy reflecting on the books I read in the previous year. In 2024, I managed to read 42 books, including 12 for my book club. I also found myself diving into more non-fiction than usual, thanks to the convenience of audiobooks! Below is a roundup of my favourite books of 2024—have you read any of these?

    My Favourite Book of 2014

    4 January 2015 /

    I meant to write this post a few days ago however, unfortunately I have been battling a heavy cold.  I want to write a review of my favourite book that I read in 2014.  Even though I read quite a few last year, the one that stands out in my mind is The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton.  I have been a fan of Kate’s books for several years now and a new release always goes straight onto my to-read list.
