2024 was not such a great year for my family. Lots of illnesses. My brother was diagnosed with a brain tumour and already had three surgeries. My 42 year old nephew had a heart attack. And we are all getting older and have our little and larger ailments.
And worldwide there were only bad news everywhere, wars, elections with bad outcomes, natural disasters.

It's tough to choose my absolute favourite book of the year, so I will present the first one of the year that I put on the list:
Kingsolver, Barbara "Demon Copperhead" - 2022
Kingsolver, Barbara "Demon Copperhead" - 2022

So, everyone, let's hope for a great 2025. I wish you all the best!

It seems a lot of people think 2024 was a difficult year, and I can only agree. Let's hope 2025 will be better, both privately and world wide.
ReplyDeleteI have not yet read Demon Copperhead, but, who know, 2025 might be the year I do?
All the best for 2025.
As I just said on my other post, Lisbeth, I think we all perceive our own life different with all the bad politics in the world. And I don't see that changing any time soon with a certain elected president already threatening with war before even in office.
DeleteAs you know, I'm a Kingsolver fan but I think, any Dickens fan would love this, as well. Or anyone. It's a good book. Enjoy.
