Rebecca, that sounds like a lifetime of achievements, not just a year’s worth. It’s great that you’re so involved with your family as well as your work. And that cream cheese flan looks amazing. Happy New Year, and keep it going, girl!
I like the format you used to track your books read for 2024. Much more fun and creative than a list. I might have to do something similar. Happy New Year!
I've been keeping a book log for a few years now and wonder why I didn't do it before!! I get a lot done through audio, however I've been trying to read more actual books (that sounds tacky - is there a better term? Hard copy??) and am getting that ratio a bit closer to balanced. Kind of. LOL.
Our local library does Hoopla Digital, so that gets me 5 books a month. I've been "stuck" on the complete works of Sherlock Holmes ... SO CLOSE to being done! 68 hours of audio. Geesh! I'm really enjoying it.
My most-favorite book in 2024, though ... hmmm ... probably The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman (SO FUNNY!) (library book). But I've read two thriller / crime / mysteries, too, and those are right up there at the top. The first two books in the Lewis series by Peter May (also library books). A bit intense and a few not-so-PG scenes that I skip over, but very worth the read! Bonus that it's on the Isle of Lewis - a place I've been so it's neat to learn more about it and actually see some of it in my mind.
The 2nd Thursday Murder Club book and the 3rd Lewis book are each at the top of my reading list for this month.
I just finished The Woman in White by Wilke Collins and really enjoyed that. I bought a used copy off ebay and am so glad I did because it took me a while to get through it. No regrets! Very fascinating.
I hope to read your novel soon!!
Anyway ... hello! I have a substack, too, though I'm not quite sure where I'm going with it. Right now I've just been posting meal plans with the intentions of doing "more" "at some point". We'll see. :)
So nice to see you here! I enjoy reading/hearing about books other people have been enjoying. I don’t read many mysteries myself. I hope you enjoy reading Mari in the Margins once you get to it. It’s a quick read! ❤️

:) Mysteries are my thing in general ... I usually don't care much for the newer ones, though. I like the old classics, too.
