Shark Heart 💜 My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer this year at age 25 and after just 3 years of marriage. It’s been the worst year of our life. That book somehow tore me apart and healed me simultaneously. I cannot even explain how much it means to me. Definitely my favorite of the year.

Shark Heart was SO well written. So glad that you mentioned it! It was one of my favourites in 2023 as well!

[the_eerie_faerie_tales]

yes!! At Home with The Horrors!! Loved that book. It kicked off my horror short story obsession lol. I also have Beta and hope to read soon!

Omigoodness, Gabby, I just finished Any Man by Amber Tamblyn late last night, & I totally concur with all your comments! It was massively engrossing, & I read it in one sitting, could NOT put it down. I believe it’s message will stay with me for a long time to come. I’ve added 5 of your other favorites to my TBR & look forward to reading them in the new year. Merry Christmas to you & your family & a delightful 2024! 📚🎄📚🎉

I have Shark Heart on my Libby holds list !! My 3 favorites are : Dead Romantics (1st book of 2023), The Seven Year Slip & Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez. i posted this before, but I saw author Ashley Poston at Book Bonanza in Dallas. I told her that you loved SYL. I hadn't read it yet. I also told her I loved Dead Romantics. I do want to listen to Amber Tamblyn's book. ** Did you know that her dad Russ was in the original movie West Side Story, I LOVED this vlog.

Mother Thing 💜 Literally 2 weeks after reading this my mom passed away unexpectedly on 9/7/23. Life has been HARD and very difficult these last 4 months of loosing my best friend. My goals for the new year are to heal my mind, body, and soul. But also find some good 📚 gems along the way.

My top 5 this year were probably Ace by Angela Chen, Several People are typing by Calvin Kasulke, The Queen of the cicadas by V. Castro, The Honeys by Ryan La Sala, and This is where we talk things out ❄️

[AmandaPace]

Loved the video Gabby!! I need to watch the Patreon one later but for now I added some of your recs into my tbr. From the videos you've mentioned I really loved The Seven Year slip, really cozy and cute. My best read must be Yellowface, it was absolutrely AMAZING!! RF Kuang is brilliant, I'm currently halfway Babel and, since I love linguistics I'm enjoying it so so much.

[jaimee-kate]

So intrigued by At Home With The Horrors! It seems a pretty unknown collection but I'm so interested!

I read nestling based in your Reccomdations. It was wild and so good. Need more like that asap

[SeasonsReadings]

Such a good list!! I’ve been hearing awesome things about The Seven Year Slip and Happiness Falls!! Definitely will be picking them up in 2024! 🪩✨

Monstrilio was so well written it made me DNF it. I recently lost my mom and the way the author portrayed grief is pretty spot on and extremely devastating that for my mental health I had to put it down. I may pick it up at a later time.
