Year In Review Book Tag || A look back at 2023!

everything in the synopsis doesn't happen till the second half of the book and it was so weird because we have the first half of the book you turn the page and it says four years later and in that Gap is when all of the interesting stuff happens

it was so good sa Cosby just really delivered on this one it's the best of his yet

it's disturbing stories but they're based on true things that happen in the author's life so it's actually part Memoir and I just really love the collection

ended up absolutely loving it I've got more Emily Henry over there on my book cart treat in 2024 I'm going to read everything she writes

well that's okay because Travis baldry gave me Fern so both of them just ended up being my favorite two characters

favorite book of the year here I have said this through many videos on the channel over 2023 still hasn't changed Buzzard's bowl by John Paladino it's the second book in The Tragedy of sedan series cannot recommend this enough if you love Grim Dark Fantasy this one's right up your alley

that was the delightful cuzy Christmas mystery death of a Christmas tree salesman by Patricia Meredith

it delivered absolutely delivered cannot wait for the third one

I wanted to read the second book in the series and I love this one so much that I couldn't go forward without rereading and revisiting this one

I have to go with Book Lovers and happy place I'm not trying to pick on you Emily Henry you're the only author I read this year that is contemporary romance and I just cannot stand these little Illustrated covers

it's just written very well has great pacing phenomenal characters just the creativity that is the mind of Jian COV just absolutely astounds me but yeah that would be the one book I would recommend to y'all

once I read it oh my goodness it deserves every single bit of hype that it got in fact even though I just read it a few months ago I would love to reread it again

I did not particularly care for the book or not enough to continue the series I don't like the writing style just it's way too highbrow for me but that cover is stunning

in 2023 I had not one but two collections that were Five Star reads for me

Orion Citadel by Wilbert Seymour this comes from the Kyper series and the first book in the series has an amazing cover as well definitely a runner up but I decided I had to pick one it would be this one it is just absolutely amazing love it

the return of the Nights by Gregory contaxis and to be fair the Nolla night of the Moon is absolutely stunning oh my gosh just hit the book cover Lottery with this series

what this author accomplished in this series astounds me my brain cannot comprehend all of the feelings and emotions that this series makes me feel

I also have here the Judas Blossom a historical Fantasy by Steven Arian I cannot wait book two is going to come out this summer I can't wait to see the cover

this was a delightful science fiction book that I am so desperately hoping turns into a series it has a cat in space does it wear a space suit yes does it wear a helmet yes it is everything you could want from a cat being in space absolutely loved it

when I was reading the little recap at the beginning of book two it just made me remember all of my favorite things of book one and I just had to stop and go back and reread this one again

I will absolutely be continuing the series and even though it is the longest book that I read I think it's about 800 Pages it doesn't read like it's 800 pages long it reads really fast
