TMST: Mid-Year Check-In

Mid-Year Check-In: What books have you loved so far in 2024?

Hello! Excuse me while I get my bearings blogging again! Unfortunately my blogging and reading life have often had to take some hiatuses these past few years, but I've recently been able to push through and set aside some time for both.

I think the only book that I would say I thoroughly enjoyed so far this year was Moon of the Turning Leaves by Waubgeshig Rice. I've read a couple of  other things that were decent, but this has definitely been the standout for me. This is technically a sequel, but I didn't have any difficulty reading it without having read the first novel. The worldbuilding was wonderful and it was inspirational, informative, heartbreaking, and character-driven all at the same time. I would definitely recommend it!

  2. Hi! I was thinking about you! I hope everything's OK. I knew about the first book in the series, but I didn't know there was a sequel...

    1. Things are good! A lot going on making me super busy, but it's been positive overall. Hoping to give a proper update, but still trying to get back into the swing of a few things.
