2024 TBR
Hey everyone!
In 2020 I made a month-by-month TBR. This year's will be simpler, but I'll be thrilled if/when I can get to these particular books. Some of them are new releases, but a LOT are backlog books for me, so we'll see how this shapes up!
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
This is one of the few C.S. Lewis books I haven't read yet. I've been meaning to get to it forever, and we actually own a copy now, so I'm excited to see what Lewis has to say. His theology tends to make things click for me in a way few other things do.
Le sigh. I'm not actually excited about this book after The Stolen Heir was one of my least favorites of 2023, but I'm going to read it anyway because Jude and Cardan are in it and I want to know what happens to Oak.
I am DESPERATE for this book. I need it yesterday. Oh my gosh. I cannot wait and I NEED IT NOW OH MY GOSH. That's about all I have to say after the ending of book two ripped out my heart and stomped on it.
Into The Fire by Hayley Reese Chow (cover is not yet revealed)
Into the Churn was one of my top books of 2023, so I'm on the edge of my seat for the sequel. It functioned pretty well as a standalone, but I can't WAIT to find out what comes next.
Lore by Alexandra Bracken
This one looks like a not-so-great Greek myth retelling, and I like my mythos faithful to the source material, but I'm willing to give it a try, if only because Greek mythology is my favorite thing.
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
2024 is going to be the year I finally catch up on Austen. I still need to read this one, Persuasion, and Emma, and I'd like to reread Sense and Sensibility. Austen was one of the greatest early novelists and kind of invented the genre, so I love the concept of delving deeper into her work.
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
This is another classic I'd love to read this year. It's a THICC boi, hence why I haven't gotten to it yet, but I'd like to delve more into history and literature and their intersections (as that is my preferred field of study) and this feels like a great starting place.
A Crown of Chains by Erin Phillips
I had the privilege of meeting Erin last summer, and I can't wait to actually read this book. It's an Esther retelling and it just sounds so so good. Biblical retellings are my jam.
So there you have it: 8 books I'm making a priority in 2024. What's on your 2024 TBR? Let me know in the comments!

Mere Christianity is a really good one! I've only read it twice, but both of the times I've read it, I've gotten great insights out of it!
ReplyDeleteNorthanger Abbey is such a *fun* Austen read...really snarky and sarcastic. :)
I can't WAIT to read it. I've read SO many of Lewis's books, and I can't wait to see what he has to say in this one.
DeleteAnd I'm so excited to read more Austen!
I guess I should get ready for that buddy read of Lore. I'm scared of it 🫣
ReplyDeleteme too bro me too
DeleteI wasn't even brave enough to try and make a 2024 TBR. However, Into the Churn is definitely one that I want to read sooner than later. <3
ReplyDeleteHello, friends! Do make yourselves comfortable and stay for a while--I'd love to chat with you! I simply ask that you keep it clean. :)
