Welp, it’s that time of year again. NYE is almost upon us and I am starting to put together my TBR of 2023 List.
(And, to top it all off, my grandparents got me a brand new kindle for Christmas!)
So this @dirtylittlebookworm is absolutely looking for recommendations.
My current TBR list is as follows:
The Nightingale (reread)
A Gentleman from Moscow (reread)
A Man Called Ove
A few things to note:
I am really, really into books that retell myths and epics. Whether that’s telling them from a woman’s POV, modernizing them, turning them into a romance, etc.
I absolutely hate reading nonfiction
I do not like Colleen Hoover books
I love historical fiction
I don’t like authors who use too many words
I hate horror because I’m not looking to have nightmares after I fall asleep reading
I’m willing to read pretty much any genre (except for the ones noted above) if the prose is amazing. I also like mindless trash books sometimes too. But I live for breathtaking prose
Some of my favorite books of all time:
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Harry Potter series
The Century Trilogy by Ken Follett
Circe by Madeline Miller
Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Book Lovers by Emily Henry
The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
Grendel by John Gardner
So many more that I can’t even think of…
So if you have any suggestions please please please share them! I’m always trying to find new good books to read.
New Year's Resolution # 1... Read more books...
So AO3 is still down because of the DDOS attack yesterday and, while I know I have a Fanfiction.net account I think I'm actually going to get cracking on my TBR books list...first up, "Hold Me Closer Necromancer" by Lish McBride which my friend loaned me a while back and I haven't read yet
when your tbr becomes a computer stand 🥴
