91: My Top 5 Favorite Books I Read in 2024

School of Self-Worth

Nicole’s Book Club is back in session!

One of my favorite things to do in my free time is read. I’m talking fiction, novels, romantasy, all the good stuff. And in 2024, I took reading more seriously than ever — I’m on pace to read 65 books by the end of the year, a new record.

And reading so many books showed me a lot — about the books and their beautiful worlds that give me the best kind of mental break, what I learn from reading, and how much FUN reading is.

Without further ado, here are my top 5 books I read in 2024!

1. "Yellowface" by RF Kuang
2. "Light from Uncommon Stars" by Ryka Aok
3. "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel
4. "Vaster Wilds" by Lauren Groff
5. "James" by Percival Everett
