Hello, all!
This is the booksbydorothea 2024 Book Blog Wrap-up!
SPECIAL NOTE: Many books I read are ARCs (Advance Reader Copies). ARCs are usually published many months after I have read and reviewed them. It also means some books could be read and reviewed in one year and published the following year. The books that I have included in the booksbydorothea Best Books of 2024 are books I have read in 2024 regardless of when the book has or will be published.

2024 GOODREADS STATISTICS
2024 Goodreads Book Goal: 100
2024
Goodreads Book Total: 93
I will continue with a goal of 100 for 2025 as it is a good stretch goal. My biggest issue is that my Pages Read differs greatly from the Goodreads calculation. Also, audiobooks are not included in the calculations at all.
