2024 was a horrible year for reading for me. It was the first year I hadn’t set myself a tangible reading goal and it turns out that in doing that, I really got behind on loads of things I’ve been excited to read forever.
This is made harder by the fact that I do English Lit and university. It’s not like I’m not reading at all, but it doesn’t feel great to only be reading things for classes I take.
So, to motivate myself this year I’ve made a list of books that I would love to read by December 31st.
Here’s that list:
The Time Traveller’s Wife, Audrey Niffenger
(speculative fiction, novel)
How to Read a Tree, Tristan Gooley
(non fiction)
Exhalation, Ted Chiang
(speculative fiction, short stories)
Stories of Your Life and Others, Ted Chiang
(speculative fiction, short stories)
A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, Becky Chambers
(science fiction, novel)
Quiet, Victoria Adukwei Bulley

This Dark Country, Rebecca Birrell

Gideon the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir

Cannibal, Safiya Sinclair
