    noticed the shelf of Jackson immediately and started crying haha. Been a watcher for a long time and he was always the sweetest cat, so I can only imagine what a hard year it's been for you dealing with his loss. Its nice to see that little space there honouring him ♥️🐾

    I am soooo excited - and thankful - for more vlog content. I have been absolutely adoring your vlogs this past year, Hailey. They're fun and insightful and silly sometimes but I always learn something and they're just so relaxing to watch. So happy you're continuing with it.
    Also YAY you got your ring again!!!

  •  Před 6 měsíci

    Hi Hailey, i just want to say i love watching your book videos, some of the videos where i got my recommendations on what books to read next are from your videos,
    I would love to see more of the TBR videos that you do, or books to read in 2024 or even YA books to read in 2024.

    New to finding you from scrolling best yearly reads videos…but gotta say the appearance of Archer & Charlie made me subscribe! I have an almost 5 mo. old mini long-haired black & tan female named Piper (& have had several other standards in the past)!

    Congrats on all the reading this year, i’m just cussing if these books are from December 2022 to December 2023 of January 2022 to January 2023??
    Thanks for all the content and looking forward to 2024! 🎉❤

    @SailorJaszie Před 6 měsíci +1

    You got your ring!!! 💍
    I found recently too that with my undiagnosed ADHD that audiobooks work better for me. I also am slower at reading physical books but when I can't stay focused it makes it 10x harder. Audiobooks allow me that time to do other things while getting some reading time in so my ADHD isn't too uncontrolled.
    2023 turned out to be the year that changed me the most also. In March I lost my cat best friend unexpectedly so I understand your heartbreak 💔.
    I read The Dictionary of Lost Words and it was definitely one of my favorite 2023 reads. I didn't know there was a second book tied into it though so I will definitely have to read it.
    Definitely excited for what your channel has coming in 2024!!!

  • @Alexis10210
    @Alexis10210 Před 6 měsíci +4

    My favourite book I read this year was The Heart’s Invisible Furies, which has become my fav book of all time I think! Honourable mentions however to The Book Thief (finally read it this year and wow I cried so much) and Demon Copperhead (loved this book too!)

    Clearly the changes you have made are agreeing with you! Lovely to see you and love the list! I have recommended Remarkably Bright Creatures to so many people since I read it in 2022… still one of my favourites! My top 3 this year - Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult, The Measure by Nikki Erlick and The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher (technically a reread). Glad to add a few of your favourites to my TBR list. Happy 2024! 🎉❤

  • @taylorgayhart9497
    @taylorgayhart9497 Před 6 měsíci +3

    Omg yay, I love that you loved Happy Place! Honestly, so many reviews of this book made me feel like such a loser, because everyone was saying how unbelievable it was for people in their late 20s to be such a mess, and I found it extremely relatable at 34!! Lol I don’t know, I think people have this idea that once you found your person, everything will just work out, but sometimes you can be with the right person, and still have to work through your own personal baggage before the relationship can run smoothly. That goes for romantic, relationships and friendships.

  • @kellybarrett1561

    Your favorite is my favorite this year too. I absolutely loved The Wishing Game.

  • @thefairylibrarian3282
    @thefairylibrarian3282 Před 6 měsíci

    The Wishing Game is high on my tbr. It sounds like something i would really like
    My favorite book of the year was Unseelie by Ivelisse Housman. It's a YA fantasy. The plot is nothing you haven't seen before, but the mc is autistic. As someone with autism myself, i never realised how much i needed that representation until i read this and it's so well-done and i need more people to read it because it's so underhyped!
    I'm so looking forward to all the wonderful videos you're going to bless us with in the new year 🩷

  • @CleverClarkCreations
    @CleverClarkCreations Před 6 měsíci

  • @indiethebindi
    @indiethebindi Před 6 měsíci +1

    I'm so glad that you enjoyed Iron Flame as well as Fourth Wing. While I understand and accept a lot of the criticism out there for it, I still really loved it and was feeling so alone in my opinion! AI can't wait for book 3!
    My favourite book of 2023 was Exit West by Mohsin Hamid :)

  • @julielafranzo5468
    @julielafranzo5468 Před 6 měsíci

    I read The Wishing Game by your recommendation and it was definitely top 5 this year! #1 was for sure Daisy Jones and The Six. Listened to the audio book and I almost started reading it again after I finished it

    @georgiefarr1094 Před 6 měsíci +11

    My favourite book of 2023 was definitely Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez. The anxiety rep with Jacob made me feel so seen and was the most accurate depiction of how I experience anxiety that I’ve ever read. Also the romance between him and Briana was just the cutest!

    @dianaandthebookhunt Před 6 měsíci

    I'm so happy you loved Seven Days in June and Happy Place. Both are amazing imo. Also, I'm happy you are not getting influenced by all the bookish opinions about hyped books, because it leaves you making up a genuine opinion of your own that you can stand by without any influencea from the noise. I love the new changes and your honesty in your channel. I hope you have the best year ahead 🙏🏼🤩

  • @maggiemacgirr8238
    @maggiemacgirr8238 Před 6 měsíci

    @alisonbowden5169 Před 6 měsíci

  • @mariahsmith2751
    @mariahsmith2751 Před 6 měsíci +1

  • @shortsweet8563

    @KatieReadsKoziesAndMore Před 6 měsíci

    My favorite was Outland by Dennis E. Taylor. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Ray Porter who is an amazing voice on Audible. Six college students, studying different subjects, must deal with the fact that Yellowstone may soon emit a world-ending super volcano. This immediately became my favorite science fiction book of all time.

  • @emmalinereid3343

    “this one just feels so different” …. there is so much irony in that statement when talking about Fourth Wing XD
