Another year of reading is now in the past! As the tradition wants, I am going to collect here every single comments I wrote on every book I read during 2024. All 32 of them. Enjoy!

Happy New Year! Let’s wrap up 2024 with a look back at the last month of a solid year. In the last stretch of the year, I reached 196 watched movies, 32 books, and I fell back into my Steam Deck. I also wrote about the anime movie Look Back, the Christmas movie Klaus, and the end of Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5.

Let’s revisit last year’s article on the apps I used in 2023 and see what I changed in 2024.

It was a more stable month, where I focused on NaNoWriMo and on training my writing muscle once again. I read a lot less, but I still had some good movies and series to recommend.

Another month with some wild ups and downs. I spent 5 days in Veneto, and they were wonderful days. I stumbled my way through the rest of the month. I finished the Star Trek: Vanguard series, watched a lot of Japanese spooky movies, and played a bit of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. And because I am fond of soundtracks, and I spent a lot of time listening to Bear McCreary’s compositions.

September was a month of ups and downs. At least, I read a lot of books. I watched Laura, The Post, and a lot of other movies. I listened to prograssive music and I played Castlevania Dominus Collection and Shogun Showdown.

Finally, I was able to travel again! I spent four days in Edinburgh, and recharged for the “New Year”. But I also read two books, some wonderful Buñuel movies, and listened to all the amazing new music we got in August. It was a good month! So let’s check it out.

July was a very annoying month. I was tired, my arm was hurting, and the weather was unbearable. Still, surprisingly, something happened. Three boks, 18 movies, and two games.

In the last issue, I lamented May’s lack of passion and my inability to connect with anything in particular. In June, instead, I caught up with everything. I got very invested in many things. I loved tons of movies, and I lost myself (and spent too much money) in a lot of different music genres.

May was better than expected. Even if I had to deal with a week of flu. I read two books, watched 36 movies, binged the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and listened to a lot of music. I also started playing Tunic.
