2024 was actually a great year for me, reading wise! I read a lot of books I'd always wanted to get around to (The Trial by Franz Kafka, The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick, and Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin to name a few). I also read a lot more queer books than I have in previous years and even got to read some that came out this year! (Those being The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Mieville as well as Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay, both of which I highly recommend). During the spring, I took a class that had me reading some books I don't think I would have gotten to otherwise, and I also got to discuss them in a group setting which really enhanced the experience for me! I had such a great time with everything I read, I don't think there was a single book I read that I didn't thoroughly enjoy! I'm hoping 2025 is just as good to me.
