Unputdownable Books
These are the books I’ve loved the most in 2024. All five stars. All highly recommended.
Unexpectedly amazing in every possible way. My most recommended book in 2024.
All the Little Raindrops: A Novel
Nothing compares to this book. My favorite this year.
Hollow Kingdom
We must read part two. Now I’m ready for the third book.
Feral Creatures
Such a sweet, endearing, fun read.
The House in the Cerulean Sea
I think everyone knows to read this. But it still makes my list for books I loved in 2024.
Fourth Wing
Thought provoking. This book will leave you wondering and pondering for days.
The Push
Prepare to laugh. And cry. Then laugh some more.
Broken (in the Best Possible Way)
I dont even know what genre this is other than feel good, fast paced, can read it in a day or two. Is that a genre?
Finlay Donovan Is Killing It: A Novel (The Finlay Donovan Series, 1)
Dont read this unless you are ready to have your heart torn out of your chest and stomped on for three hours. Then burned. Then fried. Then ran over with a truck. Then placed back in your chest.
The Last Letter
Unexpectedly FANTASTIC! I'd only ever heard a song or two by the RHCP and still wont listen. But, the book is very interesting. Fast paced. Well thought out. All around great read. Deals with some very heavy themes.
Scar Tissue
Let David read it to you. His voice is not soon forgotten. Be prepared to laugh and laugh and laugh.
Me Talk Pretty One Day
As someone non neurotypical, I found myself understanding Molly more than the people who didnt understand her! Get lost in this fabulous mystery.
The Maid: Molly the Maid Mystery
I'd be remiss if I didnt enlighten you to the secondary book of the Molly the Maid series. We musn't forget about Molly's next courageous adventure.
The Mystery Guest: A Maid Novel (Molly the Maid)
Surprising and sweet. A nice read for when you are feeling adrift and dont know what to do or where to go.
Where the Forest Meets the Stars
Only stopped reading long enough to sleep. There is nothing new in this book. But it's written so well that it all seems fresh!
Behind Closed Doors: A Novel
I'm in AWE of these books. It's the whole set with these covers that are ART! Beautiful.
The Lord of the Rings 5 Volume Book Set
This set will look absolutely amazing on your bookshelf. Think of the instagram photos you can take. (LOL)
Harry Potter Boxed Set: House Mashup Edition
This is unreal. If I had this set, I wouldnt be able to do anything but read all the time. Every time I'd look at it, I'd pick up a book. It's AMAZING. It's Outlander brought to life. WOW.
Outlander Book Set with Collectible Jackets
I have only read two of these. (Guess which two.). But the set it so beautiful that I had to share. Imagine these on your bookshelf...or gifting to your BFF who has a color coded bookshelf. WHAT?!?
Jane Austen Book Set with Covers (Pink)
I've only read Little Women, though I did start one other but DNRed it. These covers are delightful. Would look so lovely on your bookshelf!
Little Women 4-Volume Hardcover Book Set
If you havent read Fitzgerald, do so right now with this set. I have to say I dont love these covers. But I do love the Great Gatsby.
Great Gatsby 5-Volume Hardcover Set
Favorite kids books to read aloud for family time
This is the CORRECT book order. And one of my all time favorite series. Perfect for kids of all ages. It will keep them engaged from beginning to end.
Are You Reading Narnia Wrong? Let’s Talk Book Order!
One of my all time favorite books EVER. The movies are also amazing. But read this with your family. Memories to last a lifetime.
The Lord of the Rings
Sensitive hearts may get upset. But it's a delightful read! Reading this together will make it a little easier on their hearts.
Charlotte's Web
Yes, it's a classic. Will your kids like it? They might! (Which means they might not.) You can skip over the pages and pages and pages (and pages) of flora and fauna so that might help to make it more palatable.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas
Even my child who doesnt like books, sat with his sister day after day and let her read this to him!
Leven Thumps
From Page to Screen
It's very seldom when I say the movie was better, or as good, as the book. But they did it. They somehow did it. It's so beautifully put together…and haunting.
The Hunger Games
There are very few books that are as good as LotR. And very few books turned into movies that mesmerize like these do.
The Lord of the Rings Movies
Dont miss out on the book. It's especially dreary. But THEN watch this. It's also dreadful. (Just kidding. It's all delightful!)
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Movie/series
I cannot watch (or read) Narnia without crying my eyes out. They did a fabulous job with it. Read it first! Then watch it. I've got a full review with the order of the books, if you need the list.
The Chronicles of Narnia Movies
The movie is delightful. Amazing music. Beautiful characters. My kids equally love the book.
Mary Poppins
You need the movie to show how lavish Singapore is! But the book is also delightful. I read it while living in Singapore. I walked downstairs and my very own maid asked me if I wanted anything to eat. Surreal!!
Crazy Rich Asians
Reading Essentials – Bookmarks, Holders, and More!
Because reading isn’t just about books—it’s about the whole experience! Whether you’re curling up with a good novel or juggling multiple reads, these must-have book accessories make it even better. From gorgeous bookmarks to comfy book holders, clip-...
This is the I NEVER knew I needed this but cant live without it product. Would make a great gift for a book lover--because choosing the right book for them can be impossible.
A book pillow--GENIUS!
Genius! I seriously almost bought a Kindle today JUST so I could have this. I love it.
Kindle Charger stand!!
Seems kinda dumb in theory but hear me out. Cold hands? Super comfy? Lazy? But seriously, imagine not having to get your hands out from under the covers every time you want to turn a page.
Kindle Page Turner
This is pretty cool (unless you dont like breaking spines…iykyk). I love that there's a little shelf.
Triangle Book Stand aka Bookmark
I'm >< this close to buying this. Do I need it? NO. DO I really really want it? That's the important thing, right?
Neck light for reading.
It's LOVELY!!!
ACOTAR Neon Sign
Just read the book. Dont bother watching
Dont waste your time on this! The book is so superior. The old school movie of Anne, totally worth a watch. Wholesome, sweet, adorable. All the things the original book was.
Anne with an E
Good as a book! Hard to enjoy as a movie. Perhaps the movie was too old and needs to be remade? Read. Dont waste your time on the movie though.
We Need to Talk About Kevin
It's so good. You need to read it to really get the nuances and feelings and insights. The movie cannot translate it enough.
Flowers for Algernon
This is a book that needs to be read. The movie cannot do it justice.
The Grapes of Wrath
The book isnt the best writing style. But the content is engaging and lively…and heartbreaking. The movie drags on.
Where the Red Fern Grows
Dont get me wrong, I will watch anything Reese makes. But the book is so much better. Thought provoking. And the movie just cannot capture it.
Wild: From Lost to Found on the PCT
Just watch the movie. Dont bother reading.
I liked the books okay. They werent amazing by any stretch. But the TV show!! Still memorable. I love this show. Ive seen every episode and some many times. I recommend it over the books unless you want an easy to read, wholesome series to read with the family.
Little House on the Prairie (TV series)
First of all, SCARY. Second of all, better than the book. I dont say that about Stephen King often because the adaptations are usually bad.
The Shining
The book kind of dragged in a few places. But the movie! I think we all know about the movie. Far superior.
The Princess Bride
I couldnt get into the book whatsoever.
Killers of the Flower Moon
Please dont make me read even one more page.
Cloud Atlas )
Okay, okay. I didnt actually watch it. But after slogging through the book, I gave up caring. I'm saving you the trouble. Go straight to Meryl. She's got you.
Sophie's Choice
I didnt like the book. The cartoon version is far superior. And anything with Robin Williams-I'm in!
Hook
There was just too much going on and too many people all at once. I couldnt keep up. BUT LOOK AT THESE BOOKS!! One of them looks like real leather but it's a cover!
Game of Thrones Six-Volume Hardcover Set
STUNNING! Everything that Bridgerton is in these covers. I havent read the books. But I love the show. I heard that werent that great so I went straight to the show which is something I NEVER do.
Bridgerton 9-Volume Hardcover Book Set
I just thought the books were okay. Nothing amazing but not horrible. I know so many people love this series though so look at this beautiful book set!!
Red Rising Trilogy 3-Volume Hardcover Set
