All I can say is thank God I read post midnight.

If anyone uses tik tok...

'We're Scottish we start drinking in the morning on the first of January and dont stop'

I need to go to bed but my kindle streak remains in tact. The OGs will know my last kindle streak got broken by alcohol.

Ok, thank you for all the suggestions for my 12 by 12. I have my final list :

1. The Quiet Tenant by Clemence Michallon (Eenymeenyminymo)
2. Take it Back by Kia Abdullan (vanilla cupcakes)
3. Happy New Year by Marlin Stehn (nbt)
4. No Exit by Taylor Adams (katykatykaty)
5. Propht Song by Paul Lynch (cill2019)
6. The Marriage Portrait by Maggie o'Farrell (LaBlonde)
7. Don't Make A Sound by David Jackson (Hannahebee)
8. A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson (make-mine-whiskey)
9. Penance by Eliza Clark (SwizzleMalarkey)
10. Here To Stay by Mark Edwards (Gem_woody)
11. Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll (ToolaRoola)
12. Absolution by Caro Ramsey (caffeinefiend)

I can't make it into a pretty template. But I promise to read one of these books every single month next year. Probably not in order as I feel like Happy New Year needs to come first. This was fun, quite a few of these books would never have been on my radar and one is a re-read that is special to me. Those who suggested books that I didn't include I have already read (and enjoyed!) them.

@Caffeine Fiend if this is the start of a new 13 book series that I am hooked on then my tbr will thank.you.very.much.

I’ve just started Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and I can’t put it down. I’m going to pretend I want an early night so I can enjoy it in peace.

I was tempted by Magnolia Parks after seeing a comparison to Gossip Girl which I loooved.
that’s what made me read it too and I can defo see why it’s compared. it’s like an english gossip girl. it’s kind of my guilty pleasure because it does make me cringe a bit I can’t lie but I just loved it

Really enjoyed both books but my god I started getting so annoyed everyone I read "are you alright?" in Iron Flame. It was like once a chapter!

Hello everyone!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope you all had a good one.

I have been so absent after the passing of my grandfather. It understandably took the wind out of my reading sails. I started many books in December but did not finish one, I have finished None of this is true today though!

Thought I would mention my top reads of 2023:
- A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum
- The Leftover Woman by Jean Kwok
- Green Dot by Madeleine Gray

I am still trying to work out a reading goal for 2024 but I read 77 books in 2023 (after reading 6 in 2022!).

@PiesAndLattes Sorry for your loss. I also lost a grandparent this year and it’s been tough. Your reading mojo will come back. I’ve found books great escapism and comfort.
