All of my 2024 5* reads

2024 has been a fairly good reading year - I've read over 90 books, and I've had my fair share of 5 star reads among those. I thought I'd share all of my 5* reads from 2024, as obviously these are the ones I'd most recommend out of everything I've read this year.

Side note - they're not necessarily new releases, though some are, and I give star ratings based on how much I enjoyed a book as opposed to it being a fantastic piece of groundbreaking literature...

I love Holly's writing, and this is a fantastic YA thriller with a shocking twist.
