My Top 10 Reads of 2024
From Percy Jackson to the best thriller I’ve ever read, and to the origins of the notebook.
*Disclaimer: This list is in the order I read the books because I have a terrible time picking favourites and they were all equally great in their unique ways.

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
I began the year finishing up the final books of the Percy Jackson and The Olympians series. The Last Olympian as the final book was amazing. To see all the plot points and the prophecy pieces laid out through the first four books to finally come all together in the last one. So satisfying.
Spoiler (but the book has been out since 2009), I liked that the prophecy was actually about both Percy and Luke. Also that Luke, as his last act, was able to redeem himself and do so with the help of Annabeth. I think I got a little teary-eyed at that ending too.
I will never again have such low expectations of a middle-grade series. I went in expecting a typical kid’s book, but it was honestly better than many adult…
