Book club: July to December reads
2024 has been a year full of fabulous books! This post should be read in conjunction with https://www.slaynt.com/book-club-2024-reads/ for a full list of suggested reads from the year. All are worth exploring but I've starred my favourites (*). There is quite a mix of fiction, non-fiction, recent and older books. See if any catch your eye or imagination and share what you think, especially if there are any you have read and would recommend. I've ended this post with my 'top 5' - a very hard choice! Happy reading! Kate x
