As promised in my last post where I provided an overview of the 30 books I read in 2023, this post will contain the list I have curated on the books I intended to pick from in 2024. I got them from different places — Twitter, Facebook, podcasts, books, etc. Here were the ones for 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Once again, I share these lists every year for three reasons:
To encourage others to read. I will not get tired of saying we need to read more as a people. Joining a book club like the Naija Book Club may not be a bad idea.
To provide a list for those who don’t know where to start. With 53 books, there is a lot of options.
To document my own personal book history. I take writing seriously because I know that a pen is many times better than the best memory.
So, here you go:
