My top read of the year was Part of Your World by Abby Jimnez. I did really love The Violin Conspiracy it was in my top 10. I cant wait to get to Symphony of Secrets in 2024.
I really loved Brendan Slocumb’s book the Violin Conspiracy…. symphony of secrets is on my to read list. I Saw him speak In Syracuse at the Author Lecture Series and he is so interesting, he has great stories.
I have only read a handful of these titles, but you’ve absolutely sold me on several of these, especially The Jump, Adrift, and your two favorites. Thanks 😊
I read Adrift this year based on Jordyn's recommendation and I also loved it! atmospheric, a compelling mystery at the heart, and a unique ending - all so good. If you pick it up, hope you enjoy it too!
I haven’t read any of these books, but Felix ever after and part of your world. Were two of my top 10 favorites this year. Also, yours truly, symphony of secrets, the wishing game, and if I see you again tomorrow or on my priority list for 2024. My favorite book that I read in 2023 was the giver of stars by JoJo Moise.
Ahhh so excited to see Stars in Your Eyes and Happiness Falls on your top faves! 🥹😍 I love those books so much! Also hearing you talk about The Wishing Game has me so excited to read it!! 👏
So many of your favs are on my list too!!! And I added the couple I haven't read to my TBR. Also I loooove that as a non-musician you still love Brendan Slocumb because as a musician I always wonder how it translates. And totally agree with you that he doesn't get enough hype! omg. Nerdy narration. LOVE that, and also adored Happiness Falls!
@SorryBookedSolid Unsurprisingly, a lot of crossover with yours, lol. Happiness Falls, Symphony of Secrets, The Wishing Game. Also, Legends and Lattes, Remarkably Bright Creatures, Something Wild and Wonderful, The Words In My Hands (I think you'd love this - dystopian and Deaf rep), As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow. Also, absolutely loved Yours Truly. I got an ARC copy of Just for the Summer, too, and that might be my new fav from Abby. 🤩
Thanks for asking! I’ve had to start going into the office regularly and have done a few work trips that have given me less time for sprints at home. Trying to get my balance back and hoping to bring them back in the new year! 💛

While I like Scifi, time travel/time loops are not my thing. But this is a really interesting favorites list!
Thank you!
Jordan ...What's up with your Friday sprints? Personaloy, I miss them. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Happy new years. Take my hand lives in my brain. I was 12 in 1973 and hit too close to my life.
💛💛💛
