In 2024 I finally returned to reading books. Granted, I only read one book - Emily Katy's "Girl Unmasked" - but I realize that books are good for learning new things and expanding one's imagination. One of my goals for this year is to read more books.
In terms of stuff hosted online I've been really enjoying the poetry written by Emma-Jane Barlow and Caiti Quatmann. Both of these post often on Instagram and Threads.
A Gentleman in Moscow was my favorite read of the year. I know I’m many years behind most reading it, but I couldn’t resist mentioning how much I loved this book! I’m now reading Anna Karenina to continue my journey through Russian culture. I had many other great reads but that was by far #1 for me and one I look forward to re-reading in the future!
I discovered John Connolly this year, who somehow wrote 20 or so books in the mystery/thriller/horror vein/genre (which is where I'd like to live) without me ever hearing of him.

I shared a list of great reads on my Substack last month, so I’m going to be lazy and share it here. https://open.substack.com/pub/projectstarfish/p/12-days-of-the-best-free-serial-fiction?r=1mk6at&utm_medium=ios

My favorite so far: The Dirty South.
