Wrap-Up of the 2024 New Release Reading Challenge

This challenge is the easiest for me to complete. For the past several years most of the books that I have read were new releases. In 2024 I read 54 new releases and 29 new, to me, authors. Many of the books could have been my favorite for the year. They were expertly written. It was difficult in choosing just one as the favorite, especially because they come from different genres. I read a lot of mysteries, cozies, historical fiction and graphic novels. Links to the books that I read and reviewed are below.
