My 2024 Book List is here! These are always my favorite posts. And while all of this is captured in my Goodreads account<\/a> \u2013 I so enjoy compiling these posts and refreshing on what exactly I read for the year. Also, I tried out a new app this year as well, Fable, and I just kept coming back to Goodreads so here we are. In 2025 I hope to get back to more frequent book reviews throughout the year as well so be ont he lookout for those too!<\/p>\n Emma wanted to reread through the HP books again (no complaints here) so we\u2019ve been moving through those along with some other books. As she\u2019s reading more on her own these days, I told her I\u2019d read the books she picked alongside her that she chooses as well. I will certainly be doing this when she is assigned books in school, so I figured I would go ahead and start now, though I seem to only have added one of the chapter books. <\/p>\n I read physical books to Emma & she reads them also. I generally read thriller or drama books in audiobook, and then anything faith based or something I want to reread I get a physical copy as well. In no particular order (just what Goodreads chose \u2013 we obviously read the HP books in order to finish out the series, read the Cursed Child, then started them over<\/em>) here is this year\u2019s list<\/a>:<\/p>\n I\u2019ll spare you the recaps on HP, but read the books. Watch the movies. We love them!<\/p>\n Harry Potter & The Sorcer\u2019s Stone<\/a><\/p>\n Harry Potter & The Prisioner of Azkaban<\/a><\/p>\n Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows<\/a><\/p>\n Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets<\/a><\/p>\n Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince<\/a><\/p>\n The Tales of Beedle the Bard<\/a> \u2013 these are cute for Emma to read and we love the Tale of the Three Brother\u2019s particularly.<\/p>\n Harry Potter & the Cursed Child<\/a> \u2013 we saw the play at HTHS which was so fun to see the high school adaptation of it and fun to watch the debut of one of only 29 schools chosen<\/a> to perform it!<\/p>\n Just Mercy<\/a> \u2013 living in Alabama this is something everyone should have on their bookshelf. Have not yet watched the movie, but it\u2019s on my list as well!<\/p>\n The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes<\/a> \u2013 watched the movie on one of our flights this year and it did not dissapoint as well. Excited for the next book<\/a> to come out as well. Emma is still a tad young for these, but I think she\u2019ll enjoy the whole Hunger Games<\/a> series in a few years!<\/p>\n The Bible Recap<\/a> \u2013 Listen to the podcast back in 2020; read through it this year. Love finsing new nuggets of information each time walking through scripture! In 2025 we will be walking through this book<\/a> alongside it as a family and Emma is rather excited! This was one of her picks during our Black Friday shopping.<\/p>\n Deep Work<\/a> \u2013 His other books are equally as pertinent in business, and this one was great to dive into for how to set up my days in order to be more productive during chunks of time. <\/p>\n The It Girl<\/a> \u2013 I\u2019m a big fan of Ruth Ware, but I think I\u2019m an even bigger fan of Imogen Church\u2019s readings of Ruth Ware\u2019s stories. <\/p>\n Good to Great<\/a> \u2013 this was a book that was reccommended to me by a few people and I was glad to finally read it. Really a nerdy read and great for business owners.<\/p>\n Spare<\/a> \u2013 listed to this one because Prince Harry reads it himself. Worth a listen. Still think that Meagan has just done a number on him and it\u2019s rather sad. <\/p>\n Zero Days<\/a> \u2013 same as above on listening to this one!<\/p>\n Near in the Night<\/a> \u2013 (If you don\u2019t have it already, bundle it with Sure as the Sunrise<\/a> for an incredible deal right now!)<\/p>\n Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire<\/a><\/p>\n The Sacred Overlap<\/a> \u2013 we went through this book in our Sunday School class and I loved the diagrams in it \u2013 loved how it walked through the overlap between areas in our lives especially as believers. <\/p>\n Tired of Being Tired<\/a> \u2013 y\u2019all. Jess just knows what\u2019s up. This one hit so hard. Listened to it but will be grabbing a paper copy to come back to as well. <\/p>\n The Home Edit: Stay Organized<\/a> \u2013 can\u2019t go wrong with a Home Edit book!<\/p>\n The Fearless Organization<\/a> \u2013 really great stuff on psychological safety \u2013 a must read for business leaders.<\/p>\n Untangle Your Emotions<\/a> \u2013 Jennie Allen nails it in this one. Go read it now!<\/p>\n Diana: Her True Story-in Her Own Words<\/a> \u2013 I watched the Crown, so this was a short listen following the show being over to dive into more of the royal family.<\/p>\n Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man<\/a> \u2013 Emmanuel Acho brings so much goodness to the table and this book does not dissapoint. <\/p>\n The Clinic<\/a> \u2013 interesting twist in this one!<\/p>\n Why Simple Wins<\/a>: Escape the Complexity Trap and Get to Work That Matters<\/p>\n Get Sh*t Done<\/a>: The Ultimate Guide to Productivity, Procrastination, and Profitability<\/p>\n Radical Respect<\/a>: This was a great follow up to Radical Candor.<\/p>\n The Legacy Journey<\/a> \u2013 Dave Ramsey brings so many great points in this about setting up a family legacy of wealth and what that looks like.<\/p>\n Girl, Alone<\/a> \u2013 Really good! I usually don\u2019t go for series in thrillers, but this was a great start to one!<\/p>\n Girl, Taken<\/a> \u2013 read this one after finishing Girl, Alone and was a slightly dissapointed; didn\u2019t finish the rest of the series. <\/p>\n You\u2019ll Always Have a Friend<\/a> \u2013 such a precious book. pair this with You\u2019ll Always Be Enough<\/a> (the book we have all of her teacher\u2019s sign each year)<\/p>\n The Psychology of Winning<\/a> \u2013 This was our first book of the Rally<\/a> bookclub and it has so many nuggets of information! <\/p>\n The New Psychology of Winning<\/a> \u2013 did the audiobook of this one and ending up buying the paperback because I kept pausing to write down notes!<\/p>\n Cooper\u2019s Story<\/a> \u2013 part of a Puppy Tale (9 books) and is very cute for elementary school kids<\/p>\n Cul-de-sac Crossroads<\/a> \u2013 So proud of Mary Spencer for this book! I see so much of my heart in it from my twenties and will certainly be reccommending this to gals in that age bracket. <\/p>\n The Inmate<\/a> \u2013 <\/p>\n Christmas at Hogwarts<\/a> \u2013 this is really just an excerpt from the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone but is the perfect length for a short story! I would love to continue to see similar excerpts pop up as books in the future. <\/p>\n Shop the full list on Amazon in my curated list<\/a> or visit my storefront<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n My 2024 Book List is here!
