End of The Year Book Tag

 Hello, my fellow readers, I'm sure like all of you can't believe we're in the final countdown to the end of 2023. Also like me, I hope, we're all trying to get those final books read or listened to to add to our 2023 reading goal. Here is my End-of-Year book tag of 2023. 

  • Are there any books you started this year that you need to finish? 
    • In short, yes. I try to do my best to finish my monthly TBRs but it doesn't always work out. Still, I'm very excited and interested in finishing the books I'm currently reading so I can add them to my reading goal of 2023. These books include: 
      • The Other Princess by Denny S. Bryce
      • My Name is Barbara by Barbara Streisand 
      •  The Court of The Underworld (Books 1-4) Vol 1 by Alessa Thorn
      • I Hope You're Listening by Tom Ryan
      • The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson
      • We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry
  • Do you have an autumnal book to transition into the end of the year? 
    • I would say I'm still in the fall season with mystery/thrillers and some fantasy books like 
      • We Ride Upon Sticks
      • The Vanishing Stair
      • and I Hope You're listening 
  • What new release do you want to read before the end of the year? 
    • I would say the only new releases I'm hoping and probably finish before this year are:
      • The Other Princess 
      • My Name is Barbara
    • Other than that the only other books on my end-of-year list are backlist books and ARCs I've been sent to review.
  • What are 3 books you want to read before the end of the year? 
    • I would say the three books I hope to add to my 2023 reading goal are as follows: 
      •  A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating by Sarah Hawley 
      • A Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
      • The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen
  • Is there a book you think could still shock you and become your favorite book of the year? 
    • I don't doubt I'll love and/or like all of the books I've named and more in some capacity, but it's going to be something to top my top two favorite books of the year which are Lone Women by Victor LaValle and The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty.  
  • Have you already started making reading plans for next year?
    • Yes, absolutely. I love making lists, especially for readathons like in January with TBRathon created by Leandra the TBR zero. I've also made my 24 books to be read in 2024 list just to start.  
So that is my End-of-the-Year book tag. What were some or your answers to these questions?

December 2023 TBR

Image
Hello, my fellow readers, somehow it's December. It's always interesting when coming up with monthly or seasonal TBRs because if I haven't said the words, I'm very much a mood reader, and different months or seasons throughout the year evoke different moods for reading. Fall is always in this interesting in-between where I want to read and/or continue the major book releases in summer while shifting into more paranormal, fantasy, or mystery/thriller reads that give you that spine-tingling feeling of the fall season. Winter, for me, is still in that realm because I do still to a degree have an interest in reading all of those genres and more, but I think I am definitely, as evidenced by my current TBR, looking to have most of my books be in a more cozy mood.   So to start, and I should add there may be repeats for some lists such as my TBR games because the TBR deities were somewhat kind to me this month with the prompts I got.  So first for my monthly book challenge ...

Tales of a Returning Historical Romance Reader

 Hello, my fellow readers, you know that feeling when you discover a new favorite book, author, or genre? I think the only better or could come as close as that is when you rediscover your love for one or all of those things. Recently, I have been rediscovering how much I love historical romance. Thanks to the power of read-a-thons and my monthly TBR games I have had the opportunity to reread some of the series that made me fall in love with historical romance in the first place, but I've also had the opportunity to discover some newly found favorites.  The series that I had an opportunity to reread was Sarah MacLean's Bareknuckle Bastards series.       If these gorgeous covers by themselves weren't enough to make anyone want to read these books, these books feature some of the most well-written, well-rounded female characters I've read in historical romance to date. Not only that, but they also have the most cinnamon rolls of all cinnamon rolls when i...
