I really had no intention of doing one of these posts, but then there was all that drama surrounding these kinds of posts on the internet. So, I decided to say, “fuck it” and here’s mine.
For the most part, I enjoyed the majority of what I read this year. I’m pretty good at choosing books I know I’m going to enjoy, but that isn’t always foolproof.
Since I did enjoy the majority of what I read this past year – a lot of 4/5 star reads, I obviously cannot list them all, so here are just a few standouts – and no re-reads.
Favorite:
The Bone Charmer (The Bone Charmer #1) – Breeana Shields
Greythorne (Bloodleaf #2) – Crystal Smith
Chain of Gold (The Last Hours #1) – Cassandra Clare
House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) – Sarah J. Maas

A Vow So Bold and Deadly (Cursebreakers #3) – Brigid Kemmerer
Lore – Alexandra Bracken
And before I jump into my least favorite reads – let me preface it by saying that just because I didn’t like these books, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bad books. They just weren’t for me and/or I didn’t enjoy them as much as I anticipated or thought I would.

ooo ACTOAR is always fun! I reread it last year as well and remembered why I fell in love with it. So glad you loved it!! And I haven’t read ten thousand doors of january, but that’s a bummer you didn’t like it. I hate it when that happens.

Ooo, you’re going to love both. They’re so good. I was a little apprehensive going into Fable since I haven’t been the biggest fan of the author’s past work, but it was just so good and easily bingeable. and Lore was just wonderful and the relationship between her and Castor is perfect.
I hope you read so many amazing books this year! 🤗
