Best Books of 2024 (according to Amazon!) || Reading Vlog & Reviews

Hey Booktube, Amazon came out with their Best Books of 2024 according to their editors. I thought it would be fun to check out the top 10 and do a reading vlog with the ones I think I'll like the most. I also reviewed the ones I had already read from the top 100. So here are my thoughts and recommendations!

Are any of these on your TBR?
If you’ve read any, what’s your review?

Thanks for displaying an image of the book you're currently talking about in the corner of the screen. I often listen more than watch Booktube videos while doing other things, so I can figure out what you're talking about if I lose track with a quick glance at the screen.

The fact that my last reading vlog of the year is my best reading vlog of the year 😂🤌

[gabz]

After watching you read all these mid books in your read it or unhaul it (not always but a lot of the time), it's nice to see a vlog where you enjoyed ALL of them <3

I am so happy that you enjoyed “The Wedding People” - it was one of my favorite books of the year and I was ✨stressed✨ about whether you were going to like it or tear it apart 😂

Also - looking forward to "Hi everyone it's Emily Fox, this video is brought to you by SPORTS" 🤣

I think that you should give The Women a chance. So that you know, I am a 70-something American male, so we could not be more different. I appreciate what you do. You're videos are smart and articulate even though we don't always like the same things. Yes, The Women is a war novel, specifically about the Vietnam war. But it is so much more than that. Perhaps I am biased since that war was central to my formative years. This novel is about the war but it is also about courage, love, relationships between women and yes a bit or romance. It is a riveting story and I hope that you will reconsider. And by the way, James was superb.

I finished James this morning, I went in with high expectations and it exceeded them. I loved it.

[nikif.]

Yay, I'm glad you had such a great time! I'm adding all of these to my never-ending TBR.

I will also never read about sports. I did buy The Boys of Riverside for my dad though 😂

Edit: I actually listened to an Amazon book editor who helps put together their best of book lists. She specifically mentioned they make their lists for readers rather than writers/critics. So that makes sense that it’s not just dark literary fiction. I find their list really enjoyable too. The interview was on Sarah’s Bookshelves Live if anyone is interested in listening to it. I found it really interesting

I was absolutely convinced you’d hate the end of The Wedding People. I’m glad you had such a good reading week! God of the Woods and James are both on my TBR for next year, so I’m glad you gave them such good reviews!

[LibrariesandLattes]

I’m so glad you loved all of these, what a good feeling!! Especially glad you loved The God of the Woods since I did too. Definitely want to pick up The Wedding People and James now! Also, your random observations of things that bother you while reading (like the steak from God of the Woods, the scents from Ember in the Ashes, etc) always crack me up 😂

[shellkay]

Wow, what a way to wrap up the year of reading!! All three of these are on my TBR, so I’m really looking forward to them. They are Libby holds & should be up in January.

[zachreads]

Hell yeah! So glad you lo♡ed The Wedding People! It's my favorite literary fiction of the year.
My second favorite was Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus, and I think you'd really like that one too.

[capturedbyannamarie]

I highly recommend the audio of James. It’s soo good!❤

[becklebooks]

I saw another comment saying a similar thing, but I wanted to say YAY! After meh books in your read it or unhaul it vlogs, you finally got some hits with these!!! Pity they didn't come sooner in the year, how rude, haha.

[annegibson]

All the Colors of the Dark was definitely a five star book for me. I am going to add The Wedding People to my list. I loved James. The audio is amazing.

[VeraFran]

So happy you had such a great reading week!

[barbaralemon]

I read The God of the Woods. Yes, it is a family drama but the mystery is excellent as well. This one is one of my favorites for 2024. This is a slow drama, so, if you want a page turning thriller, you will be disappointed. If you want a beautifully written mystery \drama, this is for you.

The Wedding People by Alison Espach is on my shopping wishlist. Glad you enjoyed it.
