Hello, beautiful readers! Every year, I participate in the Goodreads yearly reading challenge. Knowing I had little time to read, I set my goal for 20 books and surprised myself by reading 28! Granted, some of those were short stories, but I'll take it!
I enjoyed all the books I read this year, and to see my reviews, click here. If I had to pick my top five favorites, these are the books I loved the most this year:
The Necromancer's Daughter by D. Wallace Peach
Finding Hunter by Marcia Meara
The Rise of Gadreel by Vashti Quiroz-Vega
Voice of Viracocha by PTL Perrin
In the Tree's Shadows by DL Finn
I did not write as much as I had hoped, but I did start writing again. I have every intention of finishing Drake's story in 2024. I have put off finishing that book for too long. So it is written, so shall it be! 😉
I also hope to read at least twenty books again next year. Reading and writing are true joys in my life, so I intend to incorporate them more mindfully in 2024.
I wish you all a blessed new year and hope you surround yourself with love, laughter, and positive energy all year long. Happy New Year! 😊
Hi, Yvette. Congratulations on reading 28 books. And thank you so much for reading and reviewing Voice of Viracocha! I'm honored that it made the list of your favorites. Sounds like a challenge I should enter. Looking forward to reading whatever you write.

DeleteCongrats on reading 28 books last year, Yvette :) I'm thrilled to be on your top read list. Huge hugs and yay for working on Drake xo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise! So far, I've written every day except one, so I'm quite proud of that. :-)
DeleteYay!👏🔥 I’m so happy you enjoyed my book as much as I enjoyed your Diasodz series! Thank you for reading and reviewing.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved it! You and I love fantasy/paranormal, so it makes sense that our series appeal to each other. Thanks for visiting, Vashti! :-)
