I loved Night will find you so much too. And thanks for the multiple book recs - I had DNF'ed a lot of books in '23, so I'm eager for new tried and tested ones. Wishing you a very happy new blogging year '24! (~Lex @ lexlingua.co)
ReplyDeleteHope you find something on here to love! Here's to a wonderful '24 reading year!
DeleteI definitely want to read Fourth Wing! Soon, very soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

It's really good. The hype is real. :)

Thanks!
DeleteOoh, I'm clearly behind things, I hadn't cottoned onto the new Kate Daniels books! I really want to read Fourth Wing, too, I've been seeing a lot of excitement about it.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
They're so good too! I hope you love them as much as I did. Fourth Wing is really exciting. The hype is real. :)
DeleteI’ve heard good things about Fourth Wing.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
Lydia
It's an exciting read! The hype is real.
DeleteI like to it when people have read so many great books that they have to make multiple lists!
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to narrow them down, lol!
DeleteThank you for sharing your favorites with us.
DeleteI haven't read any of these but it look like a good 2023 year of reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThe only book here I've heard of is Fourth Wing, though I haven't read that one. These all sound quite interesting. I will need to add some to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteFourth Wing was really good and I'm sure on a lot of reader lists. :)
DeleteI love that you're breaking your favorites into genres. More to enjoy! :) Of these I've only read Fourth Wing but that's no surprise. I think it's on 95% of lists today. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tanya! I think it is on a lot of lists.
DeleteI don't think I've read any of these! I'm glad you used alt text, but it doesn't tell me anything. Yes, what the cover looks like, but not the title and author :) Therefore it's still illegible :)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://laurieisreading.com/2024/01/02/top-ten-tuesday-favorite-and-most-surprising-books-of-2023/
There's two spaces when I add the alt text, one for the description and one for the title. I write the title in the description spot for next time. Thanks for letting me know! :)
DeleteI enjoyed Fourth Wing as well https://paigesofnovels.com/2024/01/02/top-twenty-one-ten-tuesday-favortie-books-of-2023/
ReplyDeleteIt's a popular one on all the lists today!
DeleteFun! I've read all but 4 of these and some of my favorites are here also. Feel free to link up with whatever of our Top 10 lists from last week - maybe Your Choice since you have parsed it a different way. I love seeing your picks.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
Not a surprise since we have really similar reading tastes. :) I will do that, Anne!
DeleteIlona Andrews' books have been on my TBR for years. I'm glad to see you loved them. :D
ReplyDeletehttps://jennielyse.com/top-ten-tuesday-43/
I love anything they write! Hope you get a chance to pick them up at some point. :)
DeleteThe only one of these I read was Fourth Wing and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteIt was really good! I have my romances coming tomorrow, which is probably more of what you read, Deanna. :)
DeleteThe only one on here that I've read is Fourth Wing! Bittersweet in the Hollow is one I'm going to have to check out!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten!
Bittersweet in the Hollow was really good! Hope you love it, too!
DeleteNice list! EXILES and MURDER AT HAVEN'S ROCK are both on my list today too. Great minds think alike :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I haven't read any of these but I have more than a few of them on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy them when/if you finally get to them. :)
DeleteI know it will shock you to hear that I did not read any of these, but I am not much of a mystery/thriller fan. You did get me to read a paranormal series though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll have more in common with my lists I'm posting tomorrow. It's my romance genres. :)
DeleteI loved several of those, too. Love seeing what made your list. Looking forward to seeing your other lists, Rachel.
ReplyDeleteSophia Rose
Yes, we read and enjoy a lot of the same books! You have great taste, Sophia, lol!
DeleteHaven's rock (I loved her previous series in Rockton) and Night Will Find you sound excellent.
ReplyDeleteBeneath Dark Waters sounds great too and I just discovered that one last week.
Rockton and the spinoff are so good! I think you'd enjoy Night Will Find You and Beneath Dark Waters, Greg. :)
DeleteI love your list! I really had fun with Hidden Pictures, and I'd love to read Night Will Find You.
ReplyDeleteIt was good! I listened straight through on New Years day 2023.
DeleteI have most of these on TBR. Hopefully i will get to them sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteHope you love them when you get to them, Nadene!
DeleteFantastic lists. I've read a majority of the thrillers listed and all the UF accept the last book. I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteThanks! We do seem to gravitate to the same kind of books.
DeleteI have Bittersweet in the Hollow and Night Will Find You on my TBR. Glad you loved them!
ReplyDeleteHope you love both!
DeleteBittersweet in the Hollow looks so good! I also love the sound of the Innkeeper series!
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite Books of 2023
They are really good!
DeleteI like how you picked favorites from different categories. Fourth Wing seems to be popular.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was on a lot of lists.
DeleteHidden Pictures was a standout for me too!
ReplyDeleteIt was riveting! Glad it was a hit for you too, Ethan!
DeleteI like how you have grouped your favorites into various genres. I might try that. And Fourth Wing sure got a lot of love this year. Happy 2024.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Fourth Wing was a popular read, for good reason!
DeleteYes for magic claims!!
ReplyDeleteI always love to read favorites posts as I get so many great suggestions. I love mysteries but haven't read any of these you've selected as your favorites. Taking note of some these titles so I can share with my mystery book group.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Rachel. I read seven of the Mystery/Thrillers on this post. I do want to read and/or listen to Fourth Wing as well.
