Some SUPER tough decisions made for the fiction #readingbracket. I loved so many of these books. North Woods and Demon Copperhead are all-time favorites, and NW, squeaked in as the top read, but ask me tomorrow and it could be DC!

#readingbracket for 2023. This was fun! This is the first time I‘ve used this and I‘m surprised at how it differs from my top reads of the year, without organizing by month. This is the #nonfiction bracket.
(One more gushing post for the year about “The Only Plane in the Sky” — for those of you who listen to audiobooks, this one is the best I‘ve ever read!!)
Like others, I‘m digging the reading wrap-up for 2023 generated by StoryGraph. I read fewer books in 2023 than the year before, but quite a bit more pages, which I found interesting.

I‘m finally willing to put together my #top23of23 list! 😂 I read so many good books this year that I couldn‘t include here. I went with the books that I feel will really stick with me. I had very clear best fiction and NF books this year, which is unusual for me, and that‘s Chain-Gang and Fire Weather.
Well that‘s a wrap on 2023. It was a great reading year. I look forward to breaking out the new templates and many new reads in 2024.
Happy New Year!!!
Pretty good year. Did not make my goal but that is okay. It was a very busy work year and other personal things, so I am happy with 64.
It was another year of great reading! I managed to meet (and exceed) my reading goals, completed a lot of reading challenges, and just overall had a good time with my books this year. Above are my #top23of23 - all rated 4.5 or higher on my #storygraph 🤩
Here‘s to the new year bringing more excellent books our way!
It was close between the top 2...but overall since I finished Every Single Lie, I knew it was going to win it all.
I‘m still reading but I doubt anything will top Lovelight Farms for December so here are my favorites of 2023
Here is my #top23of23! It was a great reading year. Love seeing everyone's lists so I can add to my TBR for 2024. 😁 📚
Since we are midway through the year I thought I'd post my listening bracket results.
JAN - All the Dangerous Things
FEB - Everything Under the Sun
MAR - The Kind Worth Saving
APR - The Banker's Wife
MAY - The Fourth Wing
JUN - The Winners
🐉Fourth Wing🐉 was such a good fantasy, probably the best I've ever read. It's definitely worth the hype.
Time to get started on my #bulletjournal full of 2023 #readingchallenges!
Hey everyone! Maybe its a little early, but I‘m trying to get started on my 2023 #bulletjournal and reading plans, and I‘m curious what everyone has planned. If you‘re planning on reheating an event or challenge, or planning something new, please leave the details down below so we can get a running list started. Thanks! 🖤
I anonymously received the new book by The KLF today... It came all the way from London! 😯
