Following my heart, one book at a time...
Megan sent over her Best of 2023 list and I’m so excited to post it. 🙂 We’ve got a new format for these lists, but I feel it highlights the books even better, and the reader love for each one!
Looking for 5-STAR reads? I think we have a winner right there!
And without further ado…

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?
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.
The Mother-in-Law: A Novel <— 
And maybe it’s exactly that. Or maybe not… 🤷♀️ 😉 See? I’m an unreliable book blogger, now. 😂
There it was, randomly appearing on my Amazon feed, on super-sale, and I dunno… between skimming incredible editorial reviews, and the dark aura of the cover and tagline, I just knew it had to be mine. I was excited, anticipating chills, but what I experienced, surprisingly… was… warmth.
Pen Pal <— Okay so right off the bat, this (below) happened to me, and it was physical proof that I was LOVING (LOVED!!!) this book. I announced it to the world… er, well… the Facebook. 😉
One of my all time favorite authors in the whole world and why? ‘Cause she keeps on surprising me and there’s nothing better than thinking a story is going one way, and being twisted into a totally different direction. Something… maybe even better, or worse, but just as addicting! So. Much. Excitement.
