    Just getting back into reading, thanks for the recommendations. You didn’t talk too long about the books, but I thought you were concise and very interesting to listen to. Will be watching more :)

    Oooh, so many to add to my TBR! Thank you! My most fun fantasy reads of '24 were the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. I really like the strong, sarcastic, kick-butt female protagonist in that series. The best book for all types of readers that I read was Pillars Of The Earth by Follett. I prefer his spy thrillers from the 80s, but he is a gifted writer in the historical realm as well. I'm headed out to our used bookstore to look for the Keller and the Gemmell.

      Excellent! I’ve had Pillars of the Earth sitting on my shelf for ages and I’m sorely tempted, but I’m not sure I can fit it in!

    What an interesting mix. Sounds like it was a grand year though. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to in 2025.

    Great recommendations! I love to see the covers you have for each of these. I also love to see some non-fiction or even authors I don't normally see on "top ten" videos.

    Very interesting that you are ranking 2061 on par with the original 2001.
    I have only read the original Space Odyssey (many years ago), maybe I should re-read it and continue… 🤔

    I reckon I read Code Complete some 30 years ago. It sure was enlightening. My best book of the year was probably Lord of a Shattered Land by Howard Andrew Jones. Howling Dark by Christopher Ruocchio was a close second.

    I read Feist's first three books (Riftwar Saga) and the three Krondor books (Riftwar Legacy). I absolutely loved them and can't wait to get into some more. Not sure what Feist I should read next.
