All the books I read in 2024
2024 wasn’t my best reading year, but there were definitely some highlights. I kept reading graphic narratives, especially memoirs. I also picked up books on storytelling and the writing process, plus some psychology reads on intergenerational trauma - books that’s been helping me make sense of things for my own memoir as an adult child of an alcoholic. Enjoy!
