Here are my top five books from my personal reading in 2024.

Year of Wonder (a daily dose of classical music from an enthusiast. I loved going through his from 2023-2024. More here. Also, I found out there’s Another Year of Wonder – hurrah!).

The Whole-Brained Child (a heartening and practical parenting book. More here.)

Family Unfriendly (a survey of ways our society is increasingly anti-family, and an argument for the alternative. Heard about it here.)

Nancy and Plum (a heartwarming middle grade novel with strong characterization and just enough peril to keep things interesting. Heard about it here.)

All it Takes is a Goal (I will use some of his ideas–such as keeping a “Best Moments” list, and I finished the book feeling inspired. Looking into reading Soundtracks next).
