Today I am sharing my 20 Books Of Summer for 2024! I’ve been (trying to) do this challenge for around 5 years now, but although I’ve always read 20 books, I’ve never managed to complete my initial list. But this year is another year, and I’ve decided to join in again.

20 Books Of Summer is a challenge run by Cathy at 746 Books. The idea is to read 20 books between 1st June and 1st September, but Cathy is fairly flexible and you can alter the number of books in your challenge or swap books in your list.

It’s not too late for you to pick your own list and join in. Just share your list with Cathy here and let us know your progress using the Twitter hashtag – #20booksofsummer24.

My list for 2024 is a bit of a mix of everything. I’ve tried to choose a few different genres and a more diverse group of authors, but mostly they are books that I’ve been meaning to read for a while. To my absolute embarrassment, there’s a few on the list that were there last year that I STILL haven’t got around to!

So without further ado, here is my list:

Deepa Anaparra: Djinn Patrol On The Purple Line

Graham Bartlett: Bad For Good

Lucy Beaumont: Drinking Custard: Diary Of A Confused Mum

SA Cosby: Blacktop Wasteland

Mike Gayle: A Song Of Me And You 

Robert Gold: Ten Seconds 

Louise Jensen: The Intruders 

Ellie Keel: The Four

Vaseem Khan: Midnight At Malabar House

Angela Marsons: Broken Bones

Beth O’Leary: The Road Trip

Lucinda Riley: The Shadow Sister 

Laura Shepherd-Robinson: Daughters Of Night

Simon Stephenson: Sometimes People Die

Benjamin Stevenson: Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone 

Emma Styles: No Country For Girls

CJ Tudor: The Gathering

Paige Toon: Only Love Can Hurt Like This 

Stuart Turton: The Seven Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle 

Stacy Willingham: A Flicker In The Dark

I can’t wait to see your lists!
