Thank you for adding to my stack, Kim. We share "Hello Beautiful" as a top read for 2024, and I'll include "Go as a River" by Shelley Read as another of my favorites.
I 'read' alot of audio books and give them their own category: "There are Rivers in the Sky" by Elif Shafik for how it transported me to a part of the world I knew nothing about. And the pure pleasure of spending time in Florence, Italy with "Still Life" by Sarah Winman, especially the voice of the parrot.
I tend to skim non-fiction or go to an interview with the author to get the main points. I did listen to most of The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt and got a lot from it.

And poetry? My 2024 delight was discovering Dobby Gibson through his poem published in the New Yorker in August. I've enjoyed his previous collections and now his new book, Hold Everything. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/08/05/this-is-a-test-of-the-federal-emergency-management-agency-wireless-warning-system-dobby-gibson-poem
