Hello, Yahoo readers! I’m Kelsey Weekman, a senior entertainment reporter, and I’ve been told I read kind of a lot .
I read 115 books this year — down from 410 in 2023 and 390 in 2022 , but even Olympians have to slow their pace sometimes, right? I read trashy romance, speedy thrillers, complex fantasy and pretentious literary fiction. I read physical books while in coffee shops and on planes, audiobooks while on walks around my neighborhood and doing chores at home, and e-books on the Kindle app while on my phone at sporting events and in line for concerts.
To close out the year, I thought I’d round up my favorites and share the perfect circumstance under which to get wrapped up in these delicious tales. If you’ve resolved to scroll less and read more in the new year, why not start here?
And if you’re looking for your next great watch, check out our TV and movie recs over at Yahoo’s Trust Me, I Watch Everything .
