I can’t believe it is one week into April already. Happy to report that I am on track to reach my book reading goal this year by finishing 13 books in Q1. This is a much better start compared to last year. 🙂
Here are the 2024 Q1 books:
- Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami
- The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien
- Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
- The Kitchen God’s Wife by Amy Tan
- Thunderstruck by Erik Larson
- One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
- The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann
- It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
- Tell No One by Harlan Coben
- The Guest List by Lucy Foley
- Trust by Hernan Diaz
- Stone Cold by David Baldacci
- Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
Seems this list leans heavily on fictions. Seven out of the thirteen authors are familiar to me, and their books meet my expectations. #3 is remarkable and I really enjoy the story. #6 is a classic and has been on my to-read list for years – happy to have finished it before my visit to Columbia in March. #11 has a captivating and unique structure.
Hopefully I will keep the momentum and stay on track every quarter. Too many books, too little time.
