We’re getting close, so I wanted to remind you, if you’re interested, or let new readers know what some of us do in the beginning of the new year.

In recent years, we’ve been sharing our Favorite Books of 2024. This is not a “Best of” list. Personally, I know I don’t read so many books that I can do a “Best of 2024” list. I can do a list of my favorite books in 2024. And, I do that at the very end of the year because I never know. I might still read something I love in the last few weeks of the year.

So, here’s what happens. On Dec. 30, I’ll run my list of Favorites. On Dec. 31, I do an end of year post. And, on Jan. 1, I’ll run the February Treasures in My Closet. January 2 is a Thursday, so it will be “What Are You Reading?” On Friday, Jan. 3, I’ll run the first post from one of you. I’ll run your lists on Fridays.

No one has to participate. If you want to send a list of your Favorites, send me a list with a short summary of each book. The book doesn’t have to be published in 2024, only read in 2024. And, I don’t need book covers. It’s easier for me to find those myself.

If you miss this post, I’ll remind you again on an upcoming Thursday post. But, I wanted to give some of you a heads-up. I know Jeff will be leaving for Florida. This will give all of you time to think about whether or not you want to put together a list to share.

Do you have favorite books of 2024? No hurry sending them. As I said, I’ll start running lists on January 3. And, if you want to play, have fun with your list!
