Best Books of 2024

There were a lot of great reads this past year and we have all of them here at the Gibsons Library!

We have two best-of lists – a BEST BOOKS LIST as voted by the public,  as well as OUR STAFF PICKS 2024 list too. We got to pick one each and our picks are always a bit different than you’ll see elsewhere, which is always a treat!

No matter what you choose, you’ll always find a good book at the Gibsons Library. So cozy up with a cup of tea and get reading!


 

Our best books by genre are constantly being updated. Check back often for new books added to the lists below!

And don’t forget to check out Novelist! When you’re looking for a good book to read and don’t know where to start, Novelist is a great resource! What makes Novelist unique is that you can search for books by ‘appeal’. Find books by mood, type of storyline, writing style, feeling, or by similar author style.
