I just finished watching your favorite books video so it's great to see you published your least favorite books today! I've read The Guest List by Lucy Foley this year (and The Paris Apartment last year), and I did not like them. Her writing isn't for me, so it's good to know I'm not missing out on The Midnight Feast. I read and enjoyed Final Girls by Riley Sager, and I was curious about Middle of the Night, but I'll probably pass on it now.

That's awesome you read 150 books this year, and it was nice to hear about your top books and series! Funny Story and The Rom-Commers are on my TBR, so it's great they made your list! Also, I love the Heartstopper series, and I read Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell, so I should definitely read None of This is True. I read Yellowface this year too and I enjoyed it as well! I normally don't like books where the protagonist is so unlikable, but it worked for Yellowface.

The only thing that’s keeping me from moving to fable is that it doesn’t count re-reads to your reading goal. There are a handful of books that I’ve read twice this year and it’ll only count them once. So I’m gonna keep using Goodreads for now but I might switch at the new year
@heyyitsmelina3 ай бұрын
I didn't realize they don't count towards your reading goal! I started using Fable last month, and haven't done any rereads this year. But it makes sense that you would be frustrated, because it still counts as an extra book read! I'm still currently using both simultaneously, but in the 3 months I've been using it, I think I still like Fable more! Hopefully they fix that and add multiple reads as an option in the future.
