Books I've Read in 2024 (A Living Doc)

One of the most special aspects of running Words Like Silver since 2011 is that I have a complete list of every single book I've read since that first year. Nowadays, I use The Storygraph as my preferred reading tracker, but I still love having the full list on the blog too for reference. Check the review archive and books page to explore my thoughts on each. I'm still transferring a lot of my content over, but hope to make the site easy to reference.
