What a fantastic way to ring in the new year – by getting cozy with some great reads! I’ve scoured the latest news and articles for the perfect suggestions. And, as it turns out, I don’t have to look too far! Some top authors from Ian Rankin to David Nicholls have shared their favorite books of 2024, and I’m here to summarize them for you.
First off, let’s start with some thriller recommendations. Ian Rankin, the mastermind behind John Rebus, has chosen a debut novel by someone he calls “a genius” – but alas, he didn’t reveal who! Maybe it’s because we’re still in 2024 and we don’t want to spoil the surprise? Nevertheless, I’m sure his pick will be a gripping page-turner.
On the other end of the spectrum, David Nicholls, known for his heartwarming and witty writing (think “One Day” or “Us”), has picked a book that explores the complexities of human relationships. If you’re in the mood for something more uplifting, he recommends this thought-provoking novel about – get this – a woman who gets stuck in her childhood home!
If you’re on the hunt for some literary fiction, I found an interesting tidbit from Kaitlin Olson, an actress known for “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. She shared that she’s been rereading old favorites and stumbled upon some modern classics. It seems she was re-reading F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic “The Great Gatsby” – a timeless tale of the American Dream.
Now, let’s switch gears to some light-hearted and fun reads! Kylie Jenner recently revealed her favorite books of 2024, and I noticed that they all have one thing in common: empowering women. One title she recommended is about a girl who learns to find self-acceptance through art – sounds like a beautiful tale!
Last but not least, we have some TV-related recommendations from Ryan Seacrest! Who knew he was an avid reader? Anyway, I discovered that he gave away his favorite book of 2024 on his show (I won’t spoil it for you). It’s supposed to be an astonishingly honest memoir about mental health. How fascinating!
And that’s a wrap! What are your plans for the New Year?
