Reviewing My Summer 2024 To-Read List

whatcathyreadnext7 Comments

Today I’m revisiting a Top Ten Tuesday topic from back in June –  Books On My Summer 2024 To-Read List. I was curious to see how many of the books I put on my list I actually read. Links from each title will take you to my review if I read the book, or the description on Goodreads if I didn’t.

  1. Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz Read
  2. The Draughtsman by Robert Lautner
  3. The Legacy of Elizabeth Pringle by Kirsty Wark
  4. Appetite by Philip Kazan
  5. Anna of Kleve, Queen of Secrets by Alison Weir
  6. In This Ravishing World by Nina Schuyler Read
  7. Dark Frontier by Matthew Harffy Read
  8. Dead Ground by Graham Hurley Read
  9. The King’s Mother by Annie Garthwaite Read
  10. The Instrumentalist by Harriet Constable Read

I’m pretty pleased with how I did although I would have like to read a few more of the older ones (books 1 – 5 on my list).

Apologies to Deanna at A Novel Glimpse who suggested it but I could not for the life of me come up with any ideas for this one. Instead I’ve taken a different direction, you might say. Links from each title will take you to my review.
