Wellness | Nathan Hill
post image

Not so much of a big win in today‘s LitsyToB24 semi-final - 60/40 in favour of Wellness.

The Rachel Incident has been storming through the brackets up until now, but appears to have finally met its match in Wellness. Which did you vote for and are you sorry to see Rachel go?

Look out later today, when Barbara will be posting the results of our zombie 🧟‍♀️ votes - who will Wellness go up against?! 🤔

AmyG No, I am not sorry to see Rachel Incident go. I liked both but Wellness just a bit more. (edited) 9mo

Megabooks Wellness was a #top23of23 book for me, so I am definitely happy with this result!! 9mo
Bookwormjillk Somehow I didn't get to either of these! Soon! 9mo
fredthemoose Unpopular opinion, but ugh. Wellness. The Rachel Incident was fine, but Wellness drove me batty with all of the super long tangents that seemed to be ways for the author to show off more than to support the story. 9mo
sarahbarnes This was a tough choice for me! I really liked them both, but I‘m happy with this outcome. 9mo
BarbaraBB I liked them both too but am sorry to see Rachel go! 9mo
squirrelbrain Lol @fredthemoose - you‘d best get voting for the zombie against Wellness! 9mo
squirrelbrain @Bookwormjillk - now you know how much they are both liked by Littens! (I think we‘re a pretty good representative sample. 🤔) 9mo
squirrelbrain Glad you‘re both happy with the result! @AmyG @sarahbarnes 9mo
Hooked_on_books I didn‘t much like either of these, but ended up voting for Wellness because I hated the first half of Rachel so much and didn‘t hate any of Wellness. Here‘s hoping it gets knocked out by the zombie. 😬 9mo
squirrelbrain You‘d better go vote quick-sharp then! @Hooked_on_books (I see you already did! 😃) 9mo
Ruthiella I liked both books a lot and am happy to see either advance. 👍 9mo
KarenUK I loved both, found it hard to pick, but for chapter one alone, Wellness was a favorite… 9mo

My boss insists I read this so we can discuss. Has anyone else read it?

CBee Yes! It‘s excellent - one of my best of 2023 reads! (edited) 11mo
Ruthiella Yes. It‘s pretty good if you like unconventional crime fiction. It‘s not a mystery or a procedural. It‘s more about how psychopaths can be made and how their crimes affect others. 11mo
Deblovestoread Yes! On my #Top23of23 as well. @CBee 💜 11mo

Suet624 Yes. Interesting that your boss wants you to read it. 11mo
BarbaraBB It is very good! I agree with your boss! 11mo

BarbaraBB A Naomi Klein! I must check that one out! 12mo
Rissreads @BarbaraBB it‘s about how for a couple of years she kept being confused with Naomi Wolf. Very interesting! 12mo
BarbaraBB I checked if I was confusing her myself but I did mean Naomi Klein 😅 12mo

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.

TrishB Screen shot for a proper look 👍🏻 12mo
BarbaraBB Thanks, super excited about your list! I notice many people have mentioned the tagged one, I think I should read it too! 12mo
squirrelbrain You definitely should @BarbaraBB - I‘m sure you‘d love it. Great list Holly! 12mo

BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain On my wishlist it goes! 12mo
vivastory I have several on my tbr but have taken a screenshot for future reference. Cursed Bunny & Chain Gang have been at the top of my tbr. I see that one of these was a very recent read. Great list! Happy New Year 🎊 12mo
Hooked_on_books @BarbaraBB It‘s so good! It really got its claws in me. I keep very few physical books after I‘ve read them, and I‘m keeping that one. 12mo
Hooked_on_books @vivastory I think you‘d like both of those. And I usually wouldn‘t put such a recent read on my year end best of list, but that one really feels like it‘s going to stick. So glad it was on the TOB list, as it hadn‘t been on my radar. 12mo
Chelsea.Poole Love your choices! I plan to get to Fire Weather this month 🤞 12mo

Reggie You cheater, that‘s 24 right? Lol. Happy New Year! 12mo
Christine @Megabooks Thank you! I have to go back and find yours, as I‘d expect we have some picks in common and/or I‘ll want to add everything on yours to my TBR! 😁 12mo
Christine @BarbaraBB Yay! Thanks for carrying on this Litsy tradition. I‘m hoping for a big screenshotting session of others‘ lists myself today. 😄 Happy New Year! 12mo
Christine @Ruthiella Thank you!! Hope yours is off to a happy start and that you have the best of reading years! 12mo
Christine @Reggie OMG, you made me count them AGAIN even though I did so several times already despite it being a 5X5 grid and knowing I had two boxes with just graphics!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I still count 23, but math is the worst so I reserve the right to be wrong!! 12mo
Reggie No you‘re right, lololo, I‘m blind you have 2 graphics. My bad. 12mo
Christine @Reggie LOL, I‘m hopeless with most list-y Litsy posts unless I screenshot and zoom!! But at least my elementary math skills have apparently held up. Happy 2024, hope you‘ve had a good holiday season!! 12mo

#Top23of23 Honorable Mentions

I had a hard time deciding on my last few Top 23 spots! So many great reads this year. Any of these could have made it on another day.

Oh, and for my favorite audiobooks of the year, see my #12Booksof2023 posts.

Tamra Black Butterflies 🖤 12mo
Megabooks @Tamra I need to read that! It‘s been on so many people‘s lists! 12mo
Tamra @Megabooks it‘s heartbreakingly beautiful. But also horrifying how quickly war becomes the new normal. 12mo
LeahBergen Charlotte Sometimes! ❤️❤️ 12mo
batsy All Done by Kindness was really good! I was mad at myself for leaving it out of my list 😆 12mo
