I’ve been making way through the 2024 Read Harder Challenge throughout the year, providing recommendations for each task, but this week has brought me to a tricky one: task #16, Read a book based solely on the title. Usually, I write about each book to explain why would should read it for the task, but an explanation would essentially make that book ineligible for task #16, because then you couldn’t be reading it solely for the title.

In the summer of 2019, I met with my then-editor at Kensington Books, and she mentioned Alice Beatrice Jones and Leonard ‘Kip’ Rhinelander and their headline news story from the 1920s. It was a passing comment that I took to heart because I’d never heard of Alice or Kip and the actual true events that took place in New Rochelle, New York, and some of the other boroughs in the state that are at the heart of the Rhinelander vs. Rhinelander case.

Halfway through the year is a good time to take stock of our reading. The spare elegies of winter have left their mark; the elegant literary novels of spring have come and gone; the big juicy beach reads of summer are just beginning. Let’s pause here and take a look at what good things the year has already brought to us before we look ahead to the riches of the fall. Here are the 10 best books from the first half of 2024.

The best books of the year (so far)

Lately, the most read books on Goodreads have stayed pretty similar from week to week. That’s why it’s surprising to see a new title in the #1 spot, and a self-published book at that! Play Along by Liz Tomforde was #7 last week, but it has jumped all the way to #1 this week. Interestingly, it was the #1 most read book in South Africa last week, so they were ahead of the curve there. The rest of the books in the top five are familiar titles, but a few have also slipped out of the top five after many weeks, like The Women by Kristin Hannah, which is now at #7. The A Court of Thorns and Roses and Empyrean (Fourth Wing) series are still in the top ten, but not the top five anymore.
