By 6 Comments

IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!!! Time to round up our personal favorite book (or books!!) of 2023 and indulge in each other’s choices. I might just consider my impromptu TBR list. 😉

So far, the repeats I’m seeing over and over again as ultimate favorites are Fourth Wing (of course!!! 😉 ) The Seven Year Slip, Remarkably Bright Creatures, and The Smoke Series by Abbi Glines. All of them so different.

Now tell me… what is your absolute favorite book from 2023?

OUR FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2023

What we’re reading right now… and loving!

Did you just finish a book? What was it & how did you like it? Today’s list is loaded in new/recent releases and we have feedback!!! 😀

What I’m reading right now is “Delicate Condition” and it makes me feel like I’m watching… OMG WAIT!!!!!!! The fact that this season is called “Delicate” means it probably IS the book that inspired this version of the show series. HOLY MOLY MIND BLOWN. 🤯 Lol!

TOTAL FLUKE, I promise. I literally just made the connection right now since I hadn’t really paid attention to what the show series title was called, until now when I looked it up for this blog post. ‘Cause I’m reading this book at the same time as watching the show, and seeing the show characters in my head while I read, I just realized what I’m doing. Reading a book at the same time as watching a series and it’s probably the exact same story. read more

By 1 Comment

In a book slump? Let’s fix that! I’ve been there too. Sometimes, we just need to shake things up, change genres, try a new trope, or just depend on our fellow readers for recommendations. And boy do we have some right now!!!

Here’s what worked for them.

NOTE: Some you might have seen before (since they come up as favorite books often – just to give you an idea of how amazing they are, like that one there to the left 😉 ). And some may be new to you (and me!). Either way, I bet this list can help! 😀 read more
