End of the year blog post: my favorite reads from 2024! A lot of nonfiction, some folklore, some cute children's books :)

What were your favorite reads?
@TarkabarkaHolgy I’ve bookmarked these for the next time I am stuck for something to read! All look fascinating and quite different to the things I end up being directed to… 
Added a few of these to by TBR list.
I’m still whittling down my list of favourite reads this year (in theory, actually I keep adding more to the list)
But I really enjoyed Kneelers: The Unsung Folk Art of England and Wales by Elizabeth Bingham
@TarkabarkaHolgy Hmm not sure I quite use it (yet) in a way which helps me enormously with this question, but I can plug Bookwyrm, a federated place to share lists of books, reviews, etc. The books I marked as read in 2024 (and a tiny bit into 2023) are at https://sfba.club/user/soaproot/books/read
@TarkabarkaHolgy Great tips! Thank you =) I'll definitely check out "The invention of clouds" and "Herba Mythica"... and I absolutely need "Eating the liver of the Earth" for reading with my wife. We loved Kancil stories that we discovered in a Czech collection of Indonesian folktales (https://www.daribnrushd.cz/zorica-dubovska--bajky-a-povesti-indonesie/). And this is an entire book of these! Was there the story about kancil helping a family of woodcocks against farmers?
@TarkabarkaHolgy Oooh, thank you! I added the Scottish tales and the Mousedeer ones to my (far too long) reading list!
