2024 Goodreads Choice Awards Reading Challenge
2024 Goodreads Choice Awards Reading Challenge
By: Brittany Shields
The 2024 Goodreads Choice Awards have been announced!
[Okay, they announced it awhile ago, but I’m just now getting around to posting this…]
I’ve listed the winner of each category in bold and listed some of the other nominees for each category as well. A full list of the nominees and descriptions can be found at the link above.
In the past I’ve tried to read at least one book from each category. My to-read list has grown to the point that I can’t make this a realistic goal anymore, plus I have yet to do an audiobook, but nonetheless, I wanted to present it as another reading challenge option for you and to still be in the know of what books are popular.
The ones I plan to read will have an * before the title. All books I’ve reviewed will be clickable links to my reviews.
The only change this year from last year was to replace the ‘humor’ category with the ‘audiobook’ category.
