WISHLIST: www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/...
Assassinâs Fate held the top spot as my favorite book of 2023 when I initially read it in January, and then it was reinforced when I re-read the Fitz & the Fool trilogy again later in the year. Hobb is the GOAT!
I think RotE might emotionally capture me even more the second time as well, which just speaks to Hobbâs talent đ
Great Video! Will have to read Liars Knot!
Yesss, itâs such an amazing second book
Canât wait to get to The Heroes! Always love hearing praise for Abercrombie
Iâll never stop giving him praise!! (Hopefully lol)
I also love The Long Price Quartet. Iâm now reading his The Dagger and the Coin series and really enjoying it đ
Iâve been thinking about picking up Dagger and Coin somewhat soon! Might finish out Kithimar first though, we shall see
Robin Hobb gets an instant like from me †And you had some really interesting other recommendations too!
Thank you! If you pick any of them up I hope you enjoy âșïž
Hi đ hope u find more amazing books in 2024!! Happy new year!! đ„ł
I hope you do too! đ
Heeeck yes, I am so here for all the gushing! The Liar's Knot is one of my favourite middle books ever, it's just so so so good! That entire trilogy just has my heart though đ„°
And I should really reread The Heroes, because I read it when I was not in the right mood and I recognized that it was brilliant but the emotional investment/enjoyment wasn't there.
Also, YAY for Divine Rivals!! I started my 2024 off with that and have now binged the sequel haha, one of my new favourite duologies!
Oh and thanks for constantly making me want to reread LPQ, Gentleman Bastards, and RotE hahah. Such outstanding series đ€©
I posted my unapologetically long favourites list on Before We Go Blog on NYE, so check that out if you want to know my faves, haha. Way too many to mention here! đ€Ł
Iâm currently reading the sequel to Divine Rivals and Iâm so glad that Iâve gotten to these somewhat close together!! Also, Iâm so impressed that you even managed a list of 30 favourites down from 300 books haha đ± there are quite a few on there that Iâve either enjoyed or really need to get to myself, like The Vanished Birds or The Will of the Many!! May 2024 be a great reading year for both of us đ„°
@@GraceDionneReads Oooh yay I hope you enjoy Ruthless Vows as much as I did, it was indeed such a great experience to read them as a package deal!
And making that list was agony haha. That's why I also made a 'best surprises' list, to give some of the almost faves a spotlight.
I think you will love The Vanished Birds and Will of the Many, here's to a great 2024!
Here's my picks
Spare by prince harry
What my bones know by Stephenie foo memoir
Reminders of him by colleen hoover
Delilah green doesn't care
The mind series by s.t abby
Tell me everything by minka Kelly memoir
Someday maybe
The fiancee farce by Alexandra belfour
Blood sugar by sacha Rothschild
Lucky me by sachi parker memoir
The woman in me by britney spears memoir
Crazy is my superpower by aj mendez memoir
Thanks to you I got to enjoy the Katherine Arden and Shannon Chakraborty works-both welcome additions outside my usual fare. Chakrabortyâs books were especially enjoyable, as the Middle Eastern themes resonated with me given my own Persian heritage. Looking forward to starting Realm of the Elderlings later this year. Hoping Iâll love it as much as Wheel of Time!
Thanks for the new recommendations. I added Daniel Abrahamâs (really liked The Expanse!) and M. A. Carickâs works to my TBR.
Other series Iâm dying to start are Sandersonâs Stormlight Archive (Iâve read all his other stuff, just about) and Eriksonâs Malazan to follow in 2025. So much great fantasy to consume in the modern era!
I'm so happy to hear that you've enjoyed some of my recommendations đ it's a great time to read Stormlight Archive in preparation for book 5 and the end of the first arc! There truly is so much fantasy to consume, not complaining, but it can be difficult to pick sometimes!
This is a great list! It looks like you had an awesome reading year!
It was a very very fun reading year!!
Sounds like you had a great reaing year! I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Empire of Silence, although I think you should pick it back up at some point...the next book (Howling Dark) blows it out of the water!
I will definitely give it another try, just not sure when! Most people speak so highly of the series that I would like to experience it đ
When i first read Stoner .. a while ago.. I remember thinking how in hell is this boring book enrapturing me. Nothing overtly exciting happens but itwas incredible. Really speaks to the writerâs skills to be able to tap into our emotions. One of my all time favourites.n
Hahahah why is this such an accurate description! At the beginning of the book I was like hmmm⊠and then eventually realized that Iâd been thoroughly pulled in!
