Excited to kick-off the new year with some inspiring reads? Here are a few interesting books to fuel your growth in 2024:

Fiction
- Fourteen Days: A Collaborative Novel - A group of esteemed writers used their COVID-era confinement to contribute to this novel about pandemic life. The setting is a Lower East Side tenement full of strangers—as is so often the case in NYC apartment buildings— who come to care about, and for, each other. The coolest thing? Collaborators include Margaret Atwood, John Grisham, Tommy Orange, Celeste Ng, and many more.

Cookbooks
- Zaytinya: Delicious Mediterranean Dishes from Greece, Turkey, and Lebanon by Jose Andres - Global food phenomenon José Andrés celebrates the shared flavors and traditions of Eastern Mediterranean cooking with this collection of more than 150 recipes. Zaytinya, in case you were wondering, takes its name from the Turkish word for olive oil, the liquid gold that flows through these countries and cultures.

Mystery
- End of Story by A.J. Finn - A. J. Finn is a second-time novelist. He follows up his bestseller, The Woman in the Window, which was made into a Netflix film starring Amy Adams, with the tale of two women who start to suspect they don’t know everything about a renowned but reclusive mystery writer’s past life— and crimes.
- Everyone On This Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson - To learn that Benjamin Stevenson is also a comedian explains a lot. Wry, dry, and oh-so-Aussie, the author charmed readers (especially this one) with Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone, his first whodunit. This time, Stevenson puts his suspects on an 1,846-mile train ride, during which someone—and we spoil nothing here—turns up dead.
