    Thank you for a lovely list! Sounds like you’ve had a great reading year. I have had some of these on my TBR - I guess I shall be getting to them shortly!

    Hi jthbooks!
    Just luckily stumbled onto this 2023 wrap up video, and thus my discovery of you! I enjoy your sense of humor and your sensibilities. I was happy to see Garth Greenwell included. You articulated so well how I felt about his wonderful writing. Thanks for turning me on to many new titles and authors! Your enthusiasm about queer stories reminded me to circle back and re-read is The Swimming Pool Library, Alan Hollinghurst. I highly recommend you consider it! 🙏🤗

      Hi!
      I’m so glad you stumbled across my channel and more importantly found some books and authors you’re interested in. That makes me very happy! Do you know I’ve never read The Swimming Pool Library but I’ve owned it for so long. I’ll put it in my tbr jar. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it 😊

    I love when you say the word characterisation.
    Definitely Detransition, Baby and Family Meal are on my radar.

    This has to be your best video post yet. Your passion for these 10 books really shines through. I told you before your confidence in front of the camera just keeps growing and growing. It has been a few years since I read What Belongs To You, your description of it Exuding Lonliness is spot on. I may have to read it again. I'm going to have to put Sunburn on my TBR. I want to thank you for The Scottish Boy by Alex di Campi, one that you mentioned earlier this fall. Lastly, that shirt and those colors looks good on you. Best of Wishes to You in 2024!

      Wow, thank you so much. This is so unbelievably kind. You certainly have made me smile today. I’m so glad you’ve managed to find some books to add to your tbr. That makes me very happy. I hope you have a wonderful 2024 and read some fantastic books! 😊

    I enjoyed this very much! Can't get enough of top lists of the year. But I'm with you, how can someone make such a list before the year is over?

    What an amazing reading year for you, Jack! It seems I really have to read Family Time now that I utterly adored Memorial. Haha. But who would say no to that?!
