Monthly Wrap-Up – December 2024! – Becky's Book Blog

My Top Reads of 2024 – Top Ten Tuesday! – Becky's Book Blog
Are you impressed? You absolutely should be, because this is the first year I've managed to narrow down my 'top reads of the year' to just one post. Previous year's I've cheated and done a 'top ten debuts' and a 'top ten sequels,' mainly because I just couldn't pick only 10 books out of the…
