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.
It’s so hard to narrow it down to 3, I feel like I’m probably forgetting one or two, but my list would be as follows (mine are all YA):
The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson, it is the final book of the Remnant Chronicles series and I think it was an amazing way to wrap it up. I thought the romance was beautiful and it’s one of the few books that I really felt attached to the characters and their stories. Would highly recommend this series if you’re a YA fantasy girl like me.
Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren. This book made me cry I’m not going to lie, Macy and Elliot were so adorable and I need an Elliot in my life immediately please and thank you.
The Ballad of Never After by Stephanie Garber. I love love love the way that Evangeline and Jacks’ relationship was written in this book and the banter that they have with each other. Jacks is such an interesting character and I love the depth/backstory that was given to him in this book.
