As we approach the end of 2024, it’s the perfect time for an updated book recommendation episode. At the time of this recording, one of us is in a bit of a reading rut and the other is absolutely killing it! Whether you’re struggling to pick up a book in this season or can’t get through them fast enough, you’re in the right place.

Today we’re sharing our favorite books of 2024 - and there’s something for everyone. We have picks in all the genres from fantasy to historical fiction to YA and more. All the titles we talk about in the episode are listed below and you can shop the BNT books of 2024 on Bookshop.org (Amanda’s List | Marie’s List) or on Amazon.

Plus, we’re discussing a new favorite reading app, Fable! If you aren’t already on Fable, download it and let’s be friends!
