In the spirit of end-of-the-year lists, I thought I’d share my favorite books I read this year. I read before bed every night (I use a Kobo which means I can read as late as I want without turning on a bedside lamp, which has been great for my marriage!) and tend towards contemporary fiction. I also intersperse a lot of queer romance / YA romance because I just love a love story, especially an easy-going one. Keep Calm & Cook On is a reader-supported publication.

For the benefit of new subscribers, every January I depart from my usual screeds about the SEC and corporate governance and indulge in the slightly less nerdy exercise of telling you about my favorite books of the year gone by. As regular readers know, unlike the New York Times and other publications, my favorite books are those I read in 2024, regardless of their publication dates.

It was deep-sea blue and plush, glowing from LED lights that lined its base. Its enormous, sculpted robot arms promised a unique spa experience. Yes, I was about to get a transformative butt massage by an AI-powered masseuse.
