i read 100 books in 2023 & these were my 10 favorites

[@rachelwright9226]

Boys of Tommen is my favorite series OF ALL TIME!! I read the whole series in a week and have reread binding and keeping 13 three times this year! Nothing beats this series for me. It is so heartbreaking yet silly and happy and beautiful and everything in between! Just wait until you get to Joey’s books (broke my heart💔)

[@Lauren_Stern]

Congratulations on reading 100 books! 🎉 I ended up reading 115 books in 2023 which was a big deal since I didn't read a single book in 2022. I fell in love with reading again 💕. From your top 10 list I freaking LOVED reading: 1.) "Better Than The Movies". This book was an absolute gem! After reading it I then devoured her entire catalog. 2.) "The Housemaid". Best of her catalog that I have read so far. My favorite book of 2023 was "Rock Paper Scissors" by Alice Feeney and I loved reading all 3 of your books in 2023 as well. 😊 Happy reading, everyone! 📚

[@GeorgiaVard]

Binding 13 was cathartic…..🥰❤️🥹 So unique, so heartwarming and at the same time so heartbreaking….I’ll always love Shannon and Johnny and his family… I’m so happy that this series will be translated in Greek within 2024❤❤❤ Kisses from Europe 🎉

[@nikkisbooknook]

Absolutely agree! I can’t wait to continue the series. Kisses! 💞

[@gabyfaye3219]

I loooovvveeedddd A Song Of Sin And Salvation! So so so good. Definitely how I imagined Eddie the entire time. This story was so cute and so heart wrenching all at the same time.

[@nikkisbooknook]

It’s so so good!

[@Buechermonster]

Uff, the Off Balance series was soooo good 🤩 My favorite reads of the last year!

[@jackie.mendoza]

Noooo cause the Housemaid STILL gives me nightmares. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!

[@nobaddayze]

Hey Johnny … hey Shannon ! Yoooo no one talks about it enough !

[@taslima3210]

Girl frrr!! I'm reading keeping 13 now And binding 13 is hand down the Best romance book I've read. Words can't explain how much obsessed I'm with these two currently. I'm purposely reading it slowly cz I don't want it to finish..ugghh their hi johny hi shanon bye johnny bye Shannon are my favorite part of the book

[@Amina19828]

We are on the same page on so many of these books others I am going to have to read. But you are 100% right about the lucia franco books. I was just thinking of rereading it because I have started and not finished so many books lately because they are just lacking.

[@remytherat2175]

if you like john green I highly recommend the anthropocene reviewed if you haven't read it

[@nikkisbooknook]

Loved it and adored it. His chapter on Diet Dr. Pepper made me cry 😅

My top reads of 2023 The cat and mouse duet ( altered my brain chemistry) The right move (absolutely loved this one and the entire series!) Say you swear ( I wish I could re-read it for the first time ) Heartless ( single dad… need I say more?) Credence ( had me questioning my morals but P Douglas never misses ) Does it hurt ( spicy, spooky, creepy absolute love) Fourth wing ( dragons ) For the fans ( absolutely unhinged but I loved it ) Nikki I don’t know how you haven’t picked up say you swear yet but I would love to hear your thoughts! Also definitely going to read the summer we fell :)

[@nikkisbooknook]

So many good ones!!! Say You Swear has been downloaded on my kindle for so long now 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have to make it a priority this year

[@jannatabu5284]

what's your goodreads account ??

[@nikkisbooknook]

I only have an account for author purposes. Haven't updated it in years 😅 I'm a bit of a goodreads hater

[@micaelamurphy299]

If you loved The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, you should read Peaches and Honey by R.Raeta. I loved it more!

[@nikkisbooknook]

[@zainabibbott8329]

Would I need to know Stranger Things or watch it in order to understand any references in Something Rad or is it okay if I go into blindly?

[@nikkisbooknook]

No, not at all! Something Rad is totally its own story. Steve Harrington was just a muse for me when writing the the male main character 🥰.

[@ariaaria555]

I have mixed feelings about binding 13. It is very thick book.. it it worth the time investment?

[@nikkisbooknook]

Well it was my favorite read of the year, so yes, absolutely!

[@kellyadams79]

I is always capitalized

[@nikkisbooknook]

I’m aware. I lowercase all of my video titles ☺️

[@pinkskinny]

Love this and your channel! But it needs to be talked about more... The Housemaid is a complete knockoff of The Last Mrs. Parrish. From the characters, to the whole storyline to even the book structure. Yes, it was an exciting read but a complete carbon copy. I'm puzzled as to how Freida hasn't been sued. So many of her books are reworks of other author's original works. The Wife Upstairs is a Verity rip off as well.

[@nikkisbooknook]

I haven’t read The Last Mrs. Parrish so wasn’t aware! But I LOVE Verity, so that’s really interesting about The Wife Upstairs 😳 I can only hope neither was truly written as a copy!

[@pinkskinny]

@@nikkisbooknook not many people are aware! It's talked about but not as heavily because I think the Housemaid overtook the original work in popularity. It would be great to get your POV if you decide to read The Last Mrs. Parrish! xo
