I‘m moving to StoryGraph, so here‘s one last #wrapup from Goodreads. Some stats are from my own spreadsheet and some from GR.
Out of 77 authors, 43 were new in 2024, 51 were women, and 18 authors of color. At least eight authors identified as LGBTQ and/or the story featured one or more LGBTQ POV characters.
Surprising no one, almost half (43) were mysteries. Six were MG/YA, 15 had a speculative element, and 18 were historical. More in comments!
Susanita This book hit many categories! Historical and speculative mystery written by an author of color.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

Lcsmcat I‘m trying StoryGraph again and also Reading List. I had trouble keeping up with multiple apps last time I tried, but I really want to get away from all-Amazon-all-the-time! 1mo
Susanita I read many books published in 2024, so I‘ll have to research the latest publication date while I watch the parade. Oldest/earliest published (1952):The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: The Chronicles of Narnia 1mo
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: The Chronicles of NarniaSusanita It turns out this is also the newest book I read in 2024 (published 5 November):The Improvisers: A Murder and Magic Novel 1mo
The Improvisers: A Murder and Magic NovelSusanita @Lcsmcat StoryGraph is a little quirky from what I‘ve seen, but there are a lot of stats…and it‘s not Amazon. 1mo
