Top Ten Tuesday: Best Books I Read in 2024

 




Happy New Year's Eve 2024....what better way to end the year than with a Top Ten list. Thank you to Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting. These are the best books I read in 2024. I am realizing how much I read books by certain, trusted authors and that are often a part of a series. I'd like to read new authors but have a hard time deciding where to start. 

It was interesting to go back and see that I spent the year with a lot more mysteries than I ever realized! 

What were your favorites? I hope you find many more ahead in 2025. 

1. When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Penman 
2. The King's Commoner by David Field
3. Traitor's Arrow by David Field
4. Dark Clouds Over Nuala by Harriet Steel
5. The Virgin in the Ice by Ellis Peters
6. Covert in Cairo by Kelly Oliver
7. Secret of the Scarab by Isabella Bassett
8.The Secret Adversary by Agatha Christie
9.Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie
10.The Crusades by Hourly History (review coming soon)

    Happy New Year! I enjoyed The Secret Adversary, but haven't read any of the other books on your list. I hope you have a great 2025.

    I'm all about the mysteries too! I've only read a handful of Agatha Christie books so far. I'm hoping to read more of hers in 2025.

    Happy TTT!

      I love doing the Read Christie challenge. This year I didn't get to all 12 but it's fun to try. Have a great year!

    Sharon Penman, Ellis Peters, Agatha Christie? Makes total sense to be on your list!
    I love The Secret Adversary. Actually the Tommy and Tuppence series is my favorite by this author.
    Ellis Peters: I so so enjoyed the Cadfael series, and I'm actually currently listening to book 2 in her Felse Investigations. Not medieval, but so so good too

      I love Tommy and Tuppence. They are adorable. Cadfael is also one of my favorites.

    I need to read more Agatha Christie books. I've only read one, and I read it way back when I was a teenager.

      The Read Christie challenge is really fun. It got me reading and listening to her books every month. Now I miss it if I don't read one!
