All the books I read in 2024 and the One I Loved The Best!

I read some excellent books last year and most of them were apocalyptic. Eighty-two of them. More than last year.

One thing I discovered during the year is that a book can have errors, yet still be a damn good yarn. I’ve read several like that and when a story is so good, it really doesn’t matter.

It’s subjective really, what one person thinks is good, others may not. As I am part of Norns Triad Publications, we often read the same books and our opinions sometimes differ.

I have to decide my winner, my best book of the year, and it’s difficult. A series may have been good, but I’ve decided not to pick one because they follow each other, and they are all good.

I’ve loved the Cormoran Strike books by Robert Galbraith and The Running Grave was definitely the best. I’m not going included it because it a famous author as well as being part of a series.

My award will go to an Indie author because it is much harder to get a book published. To have it formatted, edited and get a cover as well as write the story is a feat in its self.

After much consideration my winner comes from the month of March and it is revealed at the bottom.

AND THE WINNER IS……

When Community Conclusions came out last year, I thought I would have a look as it was Anglesey based. There are possibly two or three before this, which I hadn’t read.

I hadn’t realised when I began to read, that it wasn’t a standalone. Normally, I wouldn’t read a series without reading each one in turn. That came too late, by then I was totally hooked!

Detective inspector Idris Huws was a likeable character and a good police officer. The author had a way of drawing you in with an absorbing plot. It was ex I ting amd thrilling and one of those books that stays with you for a long time afterwards.
