Hi guys! As the end of the year is approaching… what have been your top 3 books for 2023? I want to hear about your favorites/most memorable reads across all genres that you finished this year.
Mine are as follows…:
- Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll: It was so good I stayed in bed on a Saturday night eating ice cream with my phone on DND to finish the last 100 pages in one sitting lmao.
- The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: first book that made me cry in a while.
- Still Life by Louis Penny: these books are such a vibe and I love how they are so immersive. It’s like a mini adventure-vacation to Quebec every time I read any of the novels from this series, but this one was the first one that got me totally hooked!
Notable mention: The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.
Posting before we enter December so that this racks up a loooong list of recommendations to check out for 2024.
Two of these were published this year and one was published last year, but I read them this year:
-Starter Villain by John Scalzi -I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy -Patricia Wants To Cuddle by Samantha Allen
Honorable mention to The White Man’s Guide to White Male Authors of the Western Canon by Dana Schwartz. I’d been waiting for this book for a while (I followed the Guy From Your MFA satire account on Twitter and loved the character she created), and even though it was published in 2019, I finally got it this year. It was hilarious.
ETA: Bright Young Woman is on my library hold list! Looking forward to it.
