I HATE no speech marks so much. Totally in agreement with you there x

Wait what platforms are "up in the air" right now? ...

I just finished The Great Alone and OH MY GOODNESS!!! It is January 2nd and that may be my favorite for this year. :) Have tissue with you. I was shaking I was sobbing so much at the end.

Happy New Year❤❤❤❤❤

1k paged books sounds so daunting! My fav read of dec was rare blend by Michelle Naomi Mosley!

I think my favorite read in December was Remarkably Bright Creatures Shelby Van Pelt. It was intimidating for me all year and once I dove in I couldn't put down and can't stop thinking about the characters ❤ I'm looking forward to joining this book club for 2025

From a fantasy reader- I didn’t like Caraval. It was overhyped same with OUABH. 😅

County miracles this book is beautiful. I hope you enjoy it.

A Curse For True Love by Stephanie Garber,Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros, Powerless by Lauren Roberts

I thought the Paradise Problem's story was good but the cursing especially taking the Lord's name in vain was too much so I got rid of the book

Ahh so happy you tried Anxious People. That was the first Fredrik Backman book I read. He definitely has a unique writing style (though I also wonder how much that’s due to the fact that his books are translated to English from Swedish). I had so many good reads this month - I flew through The Naturals series in like 4 days and I loved To Catch a Firefly by Emmy Sanders. I also hopped on the Heartless Hunter and Shepherd King duology trains and found them to be pretty good! I didn’t think their magic systems were too hard to digest. Always appreciate your thoughts on books :) Also just wanted to say that the length of Redeeming 6 varies depending on the edition. The ones I have are not 1K pages haha (Redeeming 6 is my favorite of the series so far, but I loved Binding 13, Keeping 13, and Saving 6 too!)

I love the Bromance series!!!

If only I could back in time to last January when I read The Great Alone for the first time!!! Such an amazing book.

Congrats on 10k!!! Hope you have a Happy New Year. May you accomplish any and every thing you want

Happy New Year 🎉

Fragile sanctuary seems like it’s gonna be so good! Three of my top anticipated reads for Jan are out of the woods by Hannah bonam young, beg borrow or steal by Sarah Adams and protect by paisley hope! Also, the hair did look good! I love the bouncyness !

My TBR includes : Lovely War, Empire of Storms/Tower of Dawn, Stolen Queen, The Diamond Eye, How to Read a Book

A Gentleman in Moscow was my favorite book in Dec and one of my favorites for the year.😊

I don't know I could reach another 1000 pages in each of Joey and Aiofe's books, I feel like if you're truly invested in the characters then the story flies by. I love their books so much, and their story, and bc it is so character driven I feel like every page has a purpose and it's not just filler. Chloe Walsh is building that world where you fall in love (or thoroughly despise) every single character and side characters in the book - the siblings, the parents, the friends, etc.

I read Binding 13 and finished yesterday! Had to stop on the way home from the dentist to buy Keeping 13

How my neighbor stole Xmas - is aunt Cindy supposed to be Cindy Lou who from grinch😅😅 also this may be a stretch but “Story” could be a play on words w a Christmas story or just whimsical. Also Cole. COAL!????

I loved, The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year!!

I had so many favorite reads in December My song by harry bellefonte memoir if you're curious about old Hollywood definitely check out this book Be my baby by ronnie spector memoir she was a singer and was married to phil spector the music producer Wild eyes by elsie silver Blackwood farm by Anne rice book 8 in the vampire chronicles definitely give this series a try Only for the holidays by abiola bello it's a Christmas book The true love experiment by christina Lauren Just for the summer by abby Jimenez i was shocked how much I enjoyed this book

It was a tie between "Five Brothers" by Penelope Douglas, and "Hate" by Tate James for my favorite book of December 😅

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher was my top read in December, it is one that I keep thinking about and is so vivid in my memory (which is saying a lot because I usually forget books too easily)

How my Neighbour stole Christmas was so good in my opinion. I love the verses at the beginning of each chapter. LOVED the grinch references ❣️❤️🎄 Happy New Year Delaney!

The only book I managed to finish was The Ghetto Within by Santiago H. Amigorena. I gave it 4 stars because I genuinely enjoyed it, though I was a bit unsure about the rating. The novel beautifully delves into themes of identity, guilt, and the impact of historical events on personal lives. Amigorena’s writing is evocative and masterfully captures the emotional turmoil of the protagonist. However, it did feel like a lot to take in within the 150 or so pages

My favorite book from December was The Collected Regrets of Clover. I did not expect to love that book as much as I did.

I only have 3. I have taxes to do and pay at the beginning of the year, so that's what I'm dealing with for the first two weeks.

My Top 5 I want to get to in Jan are Powerless, The Assassin’s Blade, Don’t Let Him In, The Coworker and That’s Not My Name. I did The Hunger Games series on audio and loved them! Got through them quickly too. Know My Name on audio is amazing! ❤️

I don’t think I’ll ever be over Cade and Willa!

I'm looking forward to reading Beautiful Ugly. I also got it from BOTM The Great Alone is marvelous. All the Light You Cannot See is heavy and deep but a fantastic book. The netflix adaptation is very good. IMO

10k followers!!! 🎉🎉🎉
