Kaetrin’s Best of 2024 list – the top 12

KaetrinBook Reviews / Need A Rec! / Recommended Reads / Top Ten ListsAnthology / Best of 2024 / Contemporary / mystery / SFF9 Comments

I met my Goodreads challenge of 100 books this year with a few to spare – in looking at my five star reads I realised I had an exceptionally high percentage of them – around 30%. For this list I disregarded those books released before 2024, re-reads or re-listens and ... more >

Illustrated cover mainly in teal/blue. There is a space scene with stars and planets all over and a black silhouette of a coule with their backs to each other and a teal blue swirl almost like smoke rising all of which have stars and planets scattered throughout. There are a couple of tiny spaceships as well. At the bottom of the cover the colour palette changes to pinks/orange like a sunset and there is a building which looks like it could be a government type building or a fancy mansion at the foot of the cover in the centre, in white.
