End of the Year Book Tag 2023 Edition

You are looking fantastic. I love the tradition of the End of the Year Book Tag.

What a coincidence, I just finished reading Frankenstein. It was so enjoyable and surprisingly suspenseful, page turning and well written. Now I will have to get a copy of Dracula.

Hola Juan, gracias por el video, te alegrara saber que por tu culpa compre La historia interminable, me había olvidado completamente de este autor y no tenia ni idea de que la adaptacion solo era una parte del libro, un fuerte abrazo desde Colombia.

yes please dedicsate a video to the cormant stryker series...i'd love to take that trip...and based on jen cambell's feelings about poor things it may surprise you by ousting one of your top three!

All my favourites mentioned 🥳 Gormenghast - totally I cannot just reread it, have to be in that space because its so baroque and quirky. KKC 💜 My most anticipated release of the year is also The Narrow Road Between Desires, just to hope that Rothfuss still has that magic in his writing. I read the first Cormoran Strike book and liked it but wasn't wowed so didn't continue. Bit protective about my HP memories. Haven't read Dracula either 🤣 So happy your work is really taking off the way you wanted, many congratulations and best wishes. Also massive respect for what you do as I truly believe mental health issues are the hidden pandemic we are still yet to fully address as a society. I also have the resolution to take less risks and reread more to get more out of my favourites and the classics in 2024, high five! One particular decision in this direction: no more loong series other than from highly trusted authors. Duology or trilogy yes, but anything which is 5-7 books, I will pass on for now. Would rather spend time reading standalones which abound in general fiction, in classics and also in SF. Been burned too much by these long series where "it all pays off in Book n" - spoiler, it never has for me. 🤭 If Book 1 isn't great, generally it doesn't turn around massively. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Happy reading!

I have a feeling that the the C Strike series may be a bit too gritty for me, so I haven’t picked it up. I just finished Wuthering Heights, and hoo boy that was some dark stuff! I also haven’t read Dracula.

Te voy a volar el tag, jeje. Tengo que releer Titus Groan. A todo mundo le digo que mi lectura no fue técnicamente válida porque lo leí en audiolibro y no me parece un libro donde uno pueda aguantar la atención en audio. Con Rothfuss no puedo. Ya leí El Árbol del Relámpago (la novela corta original) y el POV de Bast me pareció todavía más antipático que el de Kvothe.

Oh, get a move on already with Gormenghast and close your drawer with excuses, will you?!? 😜 Then your question which will be your best read of the year will be answered. And I also didn’t read Dracula yet. That’s why I don’t dare to show my guilty face on my channel 😇
