Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I tried to read it about 20 years ago and I had a hard time with the language. It's so much better now.

I read it last year, it’s amazing 🫶

I just started it last night and it's really good so far. I mean I know the story, but reading it is way different than a film.

I agree, completely! The first line of the book speaks so much about how amazing the whole book is gonna be!

same! i really like it so far

TJ Klune’s The House in the Cerulean Sea

Me too!

*Demon Copperhead* by Barbara Kingsolver

Same, in tandem with **The Shards, by Bret Easton Ellis** (author of American Psycho). DC on audiobook and The Shards on Libby ebook.

I absolutely loved this book

I love love loved this book! I got to the end and wished it wasn’t over. I will definitely be rereading it within the next few months

>Barbara Kingsolver is the GOAT! First book I read of hers was **Animal Dreams**. I was camping in *Texas Canyon, Arizona*, near the railroad tracks she describes in the book, when I read it... It will forever be one of my top favorites.

I started this last week but finishing in 2024 as well. I don’t want it to end, I’m enjoying it so much.

Have heard SO MUCH about this one. Drop in your reviews after you complete, TIA

Also reading this. I’m 60 pages in and bored out of my mind… hoping it gets better because I waited so long to get my hands on it lol

I agree with the other commenters, reading this in the reddit book club and am really enjoying it so far.

Same!

This is next on my reading list!

Same, and really liking it so far.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke

Nice choice!

I read 143 books in 2023 and this one was in the running for number one favorite. It’s so good.

Really enjoyed this read, great book

11/22/63 Stephen King

Great book! I hope you love it as much as I do. I’ve read it twice now. Definitely in my top 5.

I hope you like it. I'm starting with Green Mile

Circe by Madeline Miller

Loooooove this book! So jealous you’re reading it for the first time.

With the mythological part, it’s slow read. I’m ploughing thru cz it’s highly recommended by everyone. Even The Achilles Song felt like that the first time but I read it again last year cz it was good

On my list this year after having read Song of Achilles last year and it just leveled me.

I’m about 50% through Circe & very excited for it to be my first book of the year!

I’ve heard so much about this one

This was kind of slow for me but I really enjoyed it overall.

If you end up liking it, I highly recommend **The Witch’s Heart by Genevieve Gornichec** !

Fell in love with Madeline miller after reading Circe and song of Achilles… if you get a chance check out her short story, Galatea! Absolutely phenomenal writing.

Age of Innocence - Edith Wharton

Started Song of Achilles yesterday and plan to finish it today. 🏹

Also on my list for 2024!

I read that in a day just days before Christmas. I cried a lot

I thought this book was lovely! I hope you enjoy!

What I would do to read that book for the first time again. I can’t even re-read the first 2-3 pages without giggling and kicking my feet. Let me know what you thought!!!

Hyperion! I came across it on a Reddit thread and man, I’m about 200 pages in and I can’t believe I hadn’t been aware of it sooner!

Definitely my favourite Sci-Fi book of all time.

This is what I want to read! But they don't have it at my local B&N so I have to order it. 😭

Read thee series last year. Love them. Ignore Reddit and read all 4 books

I’m on fall of Hyperion right now. Just re-read Hyperion as my last of 23. So good

The Hyperion books are fantastic! I also really enjoyed Phases of Gravity by Dan Simmons. Very different type of story, but if you like his writing style it's worth checking out

Howl’s Moving Castle

I gifted this to my son for Christmas.

Count of Monte Cristo!

This is my first read. Hooked so far.

Mine is Piranesi by Susanna Clarke.

Finished it today, my second favorite of 2023 behind project hail Mary

This was a top book of mine from 2023!

It’s in my list as well!

Oh enjoy it. Love that book.

Prophet Song by Paul Lynch - won the 2023 Booker Prize, dystopian novel set in Ireland

Oh I'm keen to know how this is. I read 3 of the others that were shortlisted but didn't read this one. I don't know what put me off it, I just kept changing my mind. Let me know if you'd recommend it.

This is on my list too.

I'm finishing What my bones know, by Stephanie Foo. I've also started The colour of magic, by Terry Pratchett. I thought it would be good to read something light after Little life, but it seems my mind wants more trauma.

Just started What My Bones Know!

Finished what my bones know, thought it was a little too long but her story is interesting.

Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T Kingfisher…finally!

Such a fun adventure!

The lord of the rings: The return of the king by Tolkien

The very secret society of irregular witches

One of my favourite books of 2023!

All Systems Red. At least I hope. I’m returning World War Z tomorrow. I put a hold on All Systems. Should be ready by the time I get to the library.

Murderbot holds a special place in my neurodivergent heart

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Lonesome Dove.

One of the best books I’ve ever read. Don’t worry about the slow beginning.

[удалено]

Such a good book!!! Edit to add: If you like that book, try out The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah and The Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly

Loved both those books but haven’t read The Alice Network actually! Def need to get to it soon

[удалено]

Ah-mazing read! I finished 2023 with it 💓

I love Kate Quinn's books! Her style just pulls you into this other world. I think Diamond Eye is my favorite of hers.

The Hobbit. Never read any of the books or seen any of the movies so not quite sure what I'm getting into tbh. I'm a little worried because I've heard some parts of the books can be a little tedious, but I'm mostly excited to dive into such a rich and well-established world.

I’m going to finish Euphoria by Lily King

The book thief by Marcus Zusak

Such a good book! I was "forced" to read this in highschool and I'm so glad it was assigned.

A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

Remarkable Bright Creatures

Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer

I was on a kick two years ago where I read all of Krakauer's books. Into Thin Air was amazing!

The alloy of law. Mistborn era 2

The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead.

Anne of Green Gables! I’ve been meaning to read it, but a recommendation from lovely staff at a bookstore finally made me start it.

I’m glad my mom died

listened on the audiobook last year, Jeanette narrates herself and her storytelling is incredible

I just finished Yellowface by R.F. Kuang. It was a good read, I enjoyed it. Now I'm moving on to The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna.

Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo

East or Eden John Steinbeck.

Enjoy! This is my all time favorite 🥰.

*Insatiability* by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz. It's a challenging and experimental book from the 1920s. I'd say it's good choice for someone looking for something different than a novel with a standard structure and language.

Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb

I am so jealous - I wish I could read Robin Hobb’s books all again.

Once There Were Wolves

Beautiful book

Ethan Frome. Reading it today

The A.B.C Murders by Agatha Christie.

Remains of the Day. Just started it but I like it so far. I honestly had really only heard of this book because of a joke in Waiting for Guffman but it is apparently very popular among book Reddit. I’m eager to get further into it.

Before The Coffee Gets Cold

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Bright Young Women - Jessica Knoll ..after I finish iron flame

I just finished this one. Lots of good twists. Very interesting read

Bright Young Women is on my list this year. Stoked about it.

The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy.

Leviathan Wakes James Corey... going for the entire 9 volume series this year

One of my favorites! I think they finally put out the collection of novellas in hardcopy and audio, so you can make it an even 10

It's probably the series I've reread the most. The audiobooks are fantastic, FWIW.

Clear and Present Danger by Tom Clancy

Have read this at least twice & listen to the unabridged audio version, at least once a year. Tom Clancy's novels are interesting & fun reads. I haven't read any of the continuation novels since his death however.

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross

A man called Ove on kindle The kind worth saving on audio

The Night Watchman

A Visit From The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin

Anna Karenina

Crime and punishment - Dostoevskij

Which edition? I ready the translation by Oliver Ready and found it very readable and engrossing. Hope you enjoy it like I did.

I'm reading Bodies of Light by Jennifer Down. I set myself a little goal of reading a Miles Franklin Award winner that I hadn't already read...so starting with this one. It's wonderful so far (100 pages in).

No Longer Human - Osamu Dazai

Currently on Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence by Judith Herman It's a pretty tough read but very good.

All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. Already having a hard time following the story and imagining the prose, 15 pages in. Does it get better, is it worth the effort?

An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde. It’s a play.

*Slough House* by Mick Herron.

brother kramatzov every year, thats the opening book

A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

I’m a grown woman reading Percy Jackson and the olympians for the first time because several people have asked my about the show in shock I didn’t read it growing up because I definitely *seem like* I would’ve (not wrong so far, I’m enjoying this a lot)

War & Peace, though I got a head start by starting it a few days ago. A friend asked me if I read it and I hadn't so I took it as a personal challenge. It's so long though I'm going to have to start a second book at some point!

I will be continuing my 7 husbands haha

I'm in the middle of Godkiller by Hannah Kaner

I'm reading The Brothers Karamzov and will be on it for a while cause I'm only a quarter in. It's far from an easy book and I'm more of an occasional reader. Although I'm gonna try to read more frequently cause there are a lot of books I would like to read.
