2024 is already flying by and I have already FAR exceeded the number of books I’ve read in a given year (2023 was the previous winner at 43 books and I’m already at 53 in August).

As a vibe reader, I pretty much have three reviews. It’s either a 5-star read, an enjoyable read that I don’t rate, or a DNF (I think I’ve had 4-5 of these so far. Should probably keep track of that too!). There’s really no in between. With that being said, these are my 5-star reads from the first half of this year.
