Target has unveiled its pick for the best books of 2024, while also honoring a former librarian as its first-ever “Author of the Year.”

This is Harris’ second book, following her debut novel, “One Summer in Savannah”. Prior to becoming a published author, Harris worked as a librarian for more than 15 years. In an Instagram post, the author calls the honor “an emotional one,” adding that “it’s pretty hard to fathom something like this. Probably because it’s an honor I never dreamed of achieving.”

Harris adds that “Books change lives, but readers need to find those books and their authors. Thank you Target for putting books in the hands of readers.”
