First Quarter Book Recommendation 2024

Four times a year, at the end of each quarter, I consider all the books I've read over those three months and offer my recommendation for one book I would suggest you try.
Not merely sticking to my favourite, but more in terms of which I would consider a good all-rounder for a broader audience.

---

In the first quarter of 2024, I read 11 books.

From those books here is my pick of the bunch.
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
Read the review

“Epic, emotional and fun”

If you keep up with Blog That Book and have read my review of Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, then this recommendation will come as no surprise whatsoever.

I am utterly convinced, after reading this book, that there are very few readers out there who wouldn’t enjoy this read. It’s not quite what you might expect if you’re thinking it’s just another Sci-fi offering. Of course, yes it is, but there’s more to it than that. From the very opening page, this is a character piece that reels you in instantly.

It’s inoffensive, even the profanity has been avoided in a very endearing way, and it’s written in a way that is accessible to any reader other than the very young.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir is a must try in my opinion.
