Top 10 Books from 2023 || Reflecting on 5 years on Booktube

I read it for that Goodreads Award challenge, and it's just like it's such a nothing burger... it's not bad, but it's not good enough to be 800 pages per book.

Arbor Reality... I love this book. It's a very short, interconnected short story sort of thing where we're basically spending 100 years after a big climate disaster...

Cordelia's honor... for me, this is where it all began... I just love this sci fi series... It's butter in my brain.

I don't like our dark age that hasn't changed. I don't enjoy Dark Age. It's too dark for me. It's too bleak.

drinking from Graveyard Wells, one of my favorite short story collections of all time... almost all of these are four and a half to five stars... such a stellar collection.

Fool's Assassin... I just couldn't put it down... It's showstopping. It was easily the highlight of this trilogy for me.

Fourth wing probably still my favorite in that series... It's a an adventure soap opera fantasy time.

Girl, woman. Other... I think the writing style is just completely immersive... I just enjoyed it.

I also like Iron gold. I know a lot of people don't like iron gold. I really like Iron cold.

this is legends and that is arguably the book that truly sprung the cozy fantasy situation... I really liked it... I really enjoyed.

LightBringer is the most recent in the Red rising saga... I think this is my favorite in the second part of the saga. It really brings to form the emotional gut punches...

Another horror that I really enjoyed was a Lone Woman by Victor Laval. I just really like Victor... He does dark horror, fairy tale, fantasy, Grimm dark style together really well.

love.Theoretically, I think still my favorite Allie Hazelwood... that part of the story really resonated with me... I just thought it was fun.

This one's a slow girl for me too... this one's definitely like grown on me a lot and is like one where I get excited whenever I hear about a new installment in the works.

Number four is my heart is a chainsaw... I loved reading this. Jade Daniels is a favorite character.

New Suns volume two. I've talked about this a lot recently. It's a short story anthology, easily my favorite short story anthology...

Knight crawling... it is heavy and hard... but it has enough hope to balance that... And it was so poetic, too. I really loved the writing style.

Our share of night. I just think this is just my type of horror, man. I just really like it.

The cat who saved books. No, I just don't like this book. I don't like it at all.

I really like the prints of nothing, though. Is that the third book? I think that one was like dark fairy tale coated. So that one's fun.

Starting with the sentence by Louise Erdrich... I really liked it. It's obviously Louise Erdrich just Covid book...

I'm pretty sure I gave a higher rating to The Unmaking of June Farrow, which I also do not like.

while of storms is number two... while storm's easily my favorite, it's my type of fantasy... The first 300 pages were absolutely unputdownable for me.

I love this book. Okay. I really love this book... this is a horror romance... I really love it, especially because we get both of their perspectives.

I actively don't like the Witch King... I read 400 pages and that's how I feel is frustrating to me.

Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez. Woo! That was a book that I could not put down... I just really enjoyed it.
