My Top 10 of 2023!

Getting this out there a little early this year because I'm about to be super busy with work. Started my yearly reading goal at 35 books and have almost since doubled it! I'm SO grateful for audiobooks as that's been the main way I've been able to get through so many on my drive to work and on my lunch breaks. It's nice to be able to take a pause and read for a little bit. . This list does NOT include all the Manhua, Manga and Webcomics I've read so I'll do a separate post for that later when I have more time. . . I've started thinking on my reading goal for next year and I might try to finish the whole of my physical TBR collection on my shelves. Not sure yet but I definitely want to attempt it at least! Either way this was such a fun year of reading for me and I absolutely loved the books I was able to get through. There were a lot of books that got put into the "Come Back To Later" pile as I'm a big mood reader so I hope I can eventually come back to them to finish them out! . . I know it's still early but what's been your favorite read of 2023 so far???

a few of my irls have started reading tgcf so I'm patiently waiting for all the devastating story beats to hit them but I'm also waiting for them to reach the point where xie lian thinks it's the right course of action to give a ghost cpr

I love Michael Sheen so much that man is an acting genius and so talented. The things he does with micro-expressions are especially beautiful and he shines in every role I’ve ever seen him in. He is, in my opinion, the blueprint of an acting chameleon, he completely transform into roles and obviously cares so much for his characters. I wanna see more Michael appreciation please and thank you.

Want to go somewhere and see different things than my apartment walls but if there is a sound or anyone looks at me I will die right there. And if I go outside today I step into a sauna. Also nearly everything besides restaurants closes at 8 despite the fact that the roads are hell 24 hours a day. You can see how this leaves me with limited options

it's like part of me knows that the watchmaker books are the better pulleyverse books and i adore them, they're amazing gateway drugs, pepperharrow wrecked me, and bedlam stacks is like, THEE pulleyverse book in a lot of ways, but valery k is just. no pun intended but that shit lives in my BONES. that little glass-boned questionably gendered freak is MY guy. i haven't even seen chernobyl i just think valery kholkanov and konstantin shenkov should be injected into my veins 24/7. personally speaking.

Top 3 Spuffy fics I’ve read (Apr 2024)

Bad Idea, Right? by scratchmeout [R]

She can't stop herself from telling him how she feels because, god, when she looks at him her brain goes, "Ah".

Hunger by Sunalso [NC-17]

AU. Spike killed his third Slayer, but Dru was already dust. He's been lost, but when his supper turns out to be more than he bargained for, it leaves him hungry for something else instead. And Buffy? She's just hungry.

Selfish by disco-tea [PG-13]

A year after the collapse of Sunnydale, a grieving Buffy is given the chance to go back and see it all one last time. The catch? She can’t talk to anyone, she can’t kill anything, she can’t break anything or step on a butterfly or sneeze in the wrong place, or she risks unraveling all of time itself. There’s even a fail-safe put in place where if Buffy even comes close to changing anything, a crystal will shatter and send her hurtling back through time. However, the past is not always what it seems, and fate may just have a few things in store for Buffy… AU of Selfless
