99!

This is the embarrassing one... 99 is Paralyzer by Finger Eleven! This song was on a playlist I made that I listened to a LOT early this year and I guess it made it on here. I do enjoy a good 2000's rock song though.

Thank you Maddie! 🫶🏻

2,5, and 26 for the spotify wrapped asks!

2. A song you didn't expect to see in your top 10.

I'm not too sure. Most of my top 10 had me like, "Yeah. This makes sense." Maybe 2 AM by Foals just because it's, like, not one of my fave Foals songs, but it made my number two spot just because I put it on a certain playlist that I listened to a LOT early this year.

5. Oldest song (by release date)

It would be Wish You Were Here by Incubus at the ripe, old year of 2001. Most of everything I listened to this year is straight outta out of the 2010's/2020's, except for that one LMAO.

26. Favorite bassline.

The way I want to hand this to Syrups... Songs where the opening bassline gets me hooked onto the song already...

Thank you Maddie! 😊

6, 7 and 24 for the end of year asks!

6. Episode of TV or Webisode that defined the year for you.

Oh my goodness, I'm torn between The Bear episode of 'Fishes' and/or Succession's 'Connor's Wedding.' The acting in both episodes...? Superb!!!

7. Favorite actor of the year?

It was Pedro Pascal's year this year to me and we were just living in it! Love that guy!

24. Did you keep any New Year's Resolutions?

I don't actually recall making one for this year, I don't believe? Sorry. I can't answer this one...

Thank you Maddie! 🫶🏻

3, 4 and 16!

3. What were your top five books of the year?

In no particular order, my top 5 romances were:

The Duke Gets Even by Joanna Shupe

Convergence of Desire by Felicity Niven

The Duchess by Sophie Jordan

The Notorious Lord Knightly by Lorraine Heath

The Duke Starts a Scandal by Sophie Jordan

In no particular order, my top 5 nonfiction books were:

And There Was Light by Jon Meacham

Romney: A Reckoning by McKay Coppins

Giving Up The Ghost by Hilary Mantel

Women of Will: Following the Feminine in Shakespeare's Plays by Tina Packer

How Beautiful It Is and How Easily It Can Be Broken by Daniel Mendelsohn

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

Erin Langston, Felicity Niven

16. What is the most over-hyped book you read this year?

I hate to say this but The Woman In Me by Britney Spears like the reality is that I think Britney did and possibly still does need a conservatorship, even though her father's was clearly abusive. I think she comes across as much less healthy than she probably intended to and maybe I'm projecting, but as someone with not dissimilar health issues, I can tell.
