The 40 Books I Read in 2024

I read 40 books in 2024. While that was my lowest number of books read in a year in a long while, I’m going to celebrate it because there were a lot of things I chose to prioritize over reading this past year. And 40 books in a year is still nothing to be disappointed about. Plus, I read some really great books!

Tomorrow, I’ll share my top 4 reads from 2024, but today I’m sharing the list of all the books I read…

Memoir: Out of the Depths, Sunlight Burning at Midnight, Nothing is Wasted, Still Standing, Resilient, Saving My Assassin

Spiritual Inspiration: Through the Eyes of the Lion, The House That Jesus Built, I Want God, Words With God, The Gift of Limitations, Liturgy of the Ordinary

Motherhood Books: Unlimited Motherhood, Expect Something Beautiful, Habits For a Sacred Home

Fiction: Only the Beautiful, The Women, The Warsaw Sisters

Devotionals: Car Line Mom, Momma Moments with God, Embraced

Not shown because I just finished them: Reconnected and The Hope of Heaven

I finished both of these on our trip to Kansas for Christmas so I didn’t get them shown in the pictures I took before we left!

Speaking of which, this was my first year to keep all the books I read on a bookshelf. Usually I donate or give away most books after I read them, but this year I thought it would be fun to keep them so I can see a visual reminder of everything I had read this year. Here’s my bookshelf with all the books!

Do you know how many books you finished in 2024? Have you set any reading goals for 2025?

Tomorrow, I’ll share my top 4 reads from 2024 (any guesses which books I’ll choose??) and then on Monday, I’ll share the books I plan to read in January!
