Great news for the kindle-lovers! Prom-Wrecked is on sale for $.99 for a limited time! If you’re in the mood for a fun, light YA book, now’s the time to grab your very own copy!

I read over 50 books in 2024, thanks in part to a decision to delete social media apps from my phone. I keep a list of my favorites for each year on Goodreads and when I went back through it, there were 9 books that stood out in my mind. I’ve also included the genre since I tend to read whatever comes my way through library holds or impulse purchases.

1. The God of the Woods by Liz Moore – Literary Mystery
2. Expiration Dates by Rebecca Serle – Romance / Magical Realism
3. Shark Hart by Emily Habeck – Literary / Magical Realism
4. James by Percival Everett – Historical / Retelling
5. Bride by Ali Hazelwood – Paranormal Romance
6. The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center – Contemporary Romance
7. Woke up Like This by Amy Lea – YA
8. Promchanted by Morgan Matson – YA
9. Thieves’ Gambit by Kayvion Lewis – YA

For 2025, my goal is to continue to read widely, but also to add more YA books into the mix. I’ve already gotten off to a great start with three books completed in the first half of January. I’m also hoping to send out more updates this year and use Substack for blogging about reading and writing.
