Best and Worst Books of 2023

[@hinduhillbilly]

The whole Carsington brothers series is just stellar. I also especially love Alistair and Mirabel in Miss Wonderful.

I just listened to the Smart Women Read Romance episode about Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas. I liked it so much I came to find you here.

Agree totally about wanting that fanfic hit from published books - it is like a quest 😅

[@amberreadsromance]

Thank you for all of the fanfic recs. I felt the same about Fourth Wing.

[@RenHRbooklover]

I’m so pleased and happy you completely fell for Anne Gracie. I somewhat knew you would enjoy her books ❤

[@yoshimijulia118]

I want more soft, fluffy and cozy reads this year too!

[@KimberlysS89]

So lovely to see your beautiful face again! Really liked seeing your favorites. I just love your excitement for books you’ve enjoyed and the way you talk about books. Wishing you all the best for 2024! 💕

[@Jupitrpixie]

I always get so ridiculously happy to see your face pop up on my feed!!! Hope you had a fabulous Christmas and a beautiful New Year!!!

[@evelynantl897]

Jessen, it's nice to see a new video from you. Great selection of favorites of 2023. Happy new year.

[@jennmable]

I am with you on soft and fluffy! Thank you for your recommendations! Happy New Year! ❤

Excellent video

[@hinduhillbilly]

Because there were things I liked about Midnight Angel at the time (we were coming out of a tough era for historical romance) I read Prince of Dreams when it was originally released and could not get my head around it. I can't decide if I want to give it another try. I might make another pass at Midnight Angel though.

Okay, now I'm gonna read You're intolerable!!!! Missed you around here, Girl

[@amena7387]

Happy New year to you Jessen ! And thank for this past year!

Finally, someone that agrees with me on the Elsie Silver books. I felt I was reading p*orn at times. It wasn't need.

This video was such a joy to watch. Added quite a few books to my TBR and since 2023 was a slow reading year for me with not much holding my interest, I’m really looking forward to the ones you enjoyed since I rarely dislike a book you loved! ❤️ Happy New Year Jessen! Hope 2024 brings you even more amazing reads and everything you wish for 🎉

[@blayde_warrior7507]

Yesss love the best and worst of the year videos 😍❤️

[@TheBookRefuge]

Back with the most important video of the year!

[@TheBookRefuge]

Ahhhh! Catherine and Elliot! 🥰🥰

[@laurawilliams2978]

Yes! I LOVED Strange the Dreamer and The Right Move! I need to check out PS You’re Intolerable because it sounds so good.

[@Bookishv]

Yayyyy Jessen!!! There are books that I picked up because of you and hope you continue to share your thoughts :) ❤❤❤ happy new year🎉

[@AeroPortJoga]

Jessen!!!!!! I thought you'd never return! ^.^

[@ashleyp6591]

I too am reading all the Lisa Kleypas books (4 still to read for me). Prince of Dreams was such a mess! I think it must have been an early manuscript that was meant for further polish and it was rushed out. How else can THAT have been published?

[@TheBookRefuge]

All the Fan Fics. ❤❤

[@TheBookRefuge]

Yay for Minerva Spencer!! Love her Historicals. Can't wait for Aurelia!

[@pardonthisbookaddict]

Anne Gracie was such a find this year.

[@liezllovesbooks]

I really need to read more fanfiction

Loved Wolf and the wildflower though I never agreed with or forgave her parents. Both were really selfish, to the detriment of someone they claimed to love.
