Priscilla's 2024 Rewind!

West Side Stories Indie Bookstore gives you . . . Priscilla's Book Rewind: 2024! Almost 50 books - some are Good Morning America picks, some are Read With Jenna picks, some are Oprah's Book Club picks, and some are Reese's Book Club picks! Some are NYT bestsellers, some created a buzz over the past year, some I can relate to, and some are by authors whose previous works I've enjoyed. What these books have in common is that I read them last year and, though this isn't a complete list of all the books I read in 2024, these are the ones that stayed with me long after I'd read them. I hope y'all enjoy them as well! You can come by our bookstore/bakeshop/coffeehouse to browse or you can support West Side Stories by ordering audiobooks here!
