Reads of the Year for the HIP: 2024
A short list of book recommendations for Harried Intellectual Parents
Hello, everyone!
It’s almost the New Year! Looking back on 2024, I wanted to share a few of my favorite books from my past twelve months of reading. Four are new to the world this year, and four more are books that were merely new to me.
Whether or not you are quite as HIP — alas, it doesn’t mean cool, it just means harried! — as yours truly, I hope you will enjoy considering these books for your 2025 (re)reading list. Read it here:
“Reads of the Year for the HIP (Harried Intellectual Parent)”
And then, do come back and tell us:
Have you read any of these books?
What were your favorite reads of 2024?
What were your favorite rereads this year?
Happy New Year!

You should see the basket under our Christmas tree piled with new reads for the year. Yet you have managed to intrigue me enough to be tempted to buy a couple of books you include on your list (in particular "I Cheerfully Refuse"). Thanks for these recommendations!
Love this acronym. I suppose I’m a HIP, too!
I enjoyed both Foster and Small Things like These by Claire Keegan. Looking forward to reading more by her in 2025, specifically So Late in the Day.
