Good work! Several of these are new to me--I love that on TTT

These sound great! I haven't read any of them (yet) but I want to read the book about Mr. Rogers and Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone for sure. Possible also the Morton and Osmond books, too. There are so many good books out there!

Ooh I loved Silence for the Dead and The Mystery Guest. We Solve Murders is on my to be read list.

I haven't read any of these, but they all look amazing! I LOVE the cover of Homecoming!

Some great choices here! I loved the Richard Osman, I also really love Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone and also, Homecoming!

I haven't read any of these, but Daughter of MIne is on my TBR list. so far my favorite novels for the year are Forging Silver into Stars by Brigid Kemmerer, Spare by Prince Harry, The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith.

I also went off topic today, my TBR list is too big for me to be organizing publication dates, although it occurs to me belatedly i could have put any books i knew werent' published this year....I went with covers that have the color red on them.

I still need to read The Mystery Guest and I think I preorderd the Christmas book too (I haven't opened my latest book buys!), so maybe I'll sneak that one in yet this year. :) Thanks so much for visiting my list this week.

Awww, Mr. Rogers! <3 That sounds like it would be a great read and I'll put it on my audio list! I can't wait to see your list next week!! Have a lovely week, Susan!

OOh nice! I still need to read that Simone St. James book and the Kelley Armstrong one! I am forever behind on her books and I truly wonder how much sleep she gets what with all the books she gets out every year! Lol. Glad to see these two made the top of your list!


Have a GREAT day!

Old Follower :)

I was expecting Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone to be overhyped, but I loved it.

I didn't grow up watching Mr. Rogers but he sounds like he was such a wholesome man. Out of your list of favourites I think I'm the most interested in Disturbing The Dead.

These look good. I am hoping to get We Solve Murders for Christmas. I enjoyed The Mystery Guest.

Have a great week!

You've got some really good looking books on your list, Susan. Many are also on my TBR, but none are yet read. Plan to read several of them in upcoming weeks and months. Can't wait!!

So nice to hear that you loved so many of the books you read this year! I loved Disturbing the Dead too -- can't wait for more in the series!

I have probably marked more than 35 as favorites, LOL! I have read some really good books this year :)

The Good Neighbour was such a good read.

All new to me. I hope I can get the Morton book.

My daughter has been urging me to read Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone. Sounds ominous. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Been meaning to read The Maid , and also read Kate Morton someday soon....love all the books on your list (as always!)

I like Kate Morton too, I think I've got this one on my bookshelf waiting. Good to know it's worth the read b

Great list and 195 books! wow! 2024 has flown by so fast.

Ah yes, Homecoming was fabulous, like almost all of Morton's books for me.
I DNFed the first book of Osman's previous series, but I hope this one will work for me. I'll start listening to it soon

I loved Barbara Rae-Venter's book, too! What a fascinating look at forensic geneaology. And Silence For the Dead is one of my favorite Simone St. James' books. I also really enjoyed reading Daughter of Mine. And I'm putting the Fred Rogers bio on my reading list for next year. :D

I've not read any of these stories. The Mr. Rogers book looks really good. I loved watching him when I was a kid in the 80s.

I love this list! I haven't read any of these books before, but I've heard great things about Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone. I'm glad you loved it! I might pick it up someday :) Thanks for visiting my blog!

195 books is amazing!

I've only read two of these - The Mystery Guest and Silence For The Dead. While Simone St. James's latest thriller was one of my favorites this year, Silence For The Dead was a struggle for me!

I was surprised with how much I enjoyed Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone and I really enjoyed Homecoming. I'm looking forward to reading the Osman book. I watched his episode of Who Do You Think You Are UK on YouTube and he was absolutely delightful.

What a great list here. I saved three of these books in my Amazon wishlist to pick up for later. Thanks for sharing!

I really should read The Good Neighbor. I think I still have more to learn from Mr. Rodgers. Even though he didn’t write this I’m sure there’s lots of insights.

Kudos to you for making a start on your favorite books of the year...I don't know how you tackle sifting through this amount every year because trying to do the same is already kicking my butt. 😂

Nevertheless, I had a blast reading through this list because I always trust your recs, so the cream of the crop must be worthwhile. I'm surprised and intrigued by some of these, especially the thrillers, because they were on my radar but not ones that I thought necessarily looked amazing so now I want to take a closer look. And I'm VERY excited that the Simone St. James & Kate Morton titles got such high honors!

I do like it when murder mysteries have quircky titles like Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. I'll have to keep my eye open to see if it will be translated and available in my library.

I missed this list last week, Susan. I have a read a few of these already, like The Good Neighbour, The Mystery Guest, Homecoming and Everyone in my Family Has Killed Someone, although I couldn't get into the last one. I have a couple of the others on my TBR list. Nice choices.

I was out of town last week, so somehow I missed your post. I love reading about Mister Rogers, and I loved in particular The Good Neighbor.
