2024 Top 5 Adult Fiction Books

Each year I compile a spreadsheet of the books I read—almost all fiction. I sprinkled in one non-fiction book in 2024, but recruited an accountability partner to finish it. 😆 (Spoiler: It didn't make my top five list.)

I only gave four books a score of 10 (my highest ranking). Six books received a nine so I selected my favorite of those to be ranked #5. This list is for adult fiction (no kids books here—but that list is forthcoming!)

Fabulous breakout novel! The cross-cultural element added depth to the storyline.

Amazing and gripping. Characters felt real. Karen Barnett's A Vintage National Parks series are great reads, especially as I'm a fan of these beautiful parks.

Amazing storytelling and pulling together of multiple views

Super well-crafted, engaging, and suspenseful. Enjoying this series.

Loved everything about this book! The characters are amazing and Amelia is my favorite character yet! Mary Winters is my second favorite author (after Louise Penny).

May you find great reads in the coming year!
