    I was so hesitant to read Tomorrowx3 because I wasn't really into the whole video game thing but then finally the hype just got to me and I gave in lol and I am SO glad I did! What a pleasant surprise. 😊

    This was fun to see your wrap up video! I love your enthusiasm and how to talk about books and it makes me want to read them all. The only one from your list I read was Tomorrow and really loved it. It made me smile and cry and I loved how it talked about chronic pain. Such great story. I put the rest of the books on my hopeful read list! Hope you have a wonderful start to your 2024 reading year. :-) Looking forward to seeing the frogs, puppy and cats. :-)

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I really hope you enjoy them if you end up picking any of them up! I've been on a different planet for the past couple of weeks, so I need to catch up and check out your best of video! 👀

  • @baskinthestory
    @baskinthestory 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Fabulous top 10. Quite a few of these are on my list that I haven't got to yet, tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow for one and need to get to Becky Chambers sooner rather than later too
    Frogs and a puppy! Oh wow, so gorgeous 🥰

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on some cozy sci fi like Becky Chambers!

  • @marginsofmarisa
    @marginsofmarisa 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    AHHHH so many good books!! I can't believe I haven't heard of The Biography of X but you absolutely convinced me to read it. I saw Delilah Green doesn't care in the bookstore the other day and thought of you 🌟 I'd like to read that one in 2024

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I hope you enjoy them both!! And honestly what a compliment 🥰

  • @michellecgb

    I was also late to the Addie LaRue party and I loved it! One of my top reads of 2023 too ❤

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At least we still made it to the party 💛✨

  • @the_eerie_faerie_tales
    @the_eerie_faerie_tales 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Amina was so fun! I love anything nautical anyway but I really appreciated the fact that the main character was a lady closer to my own age. I believe book two comes out this year! I hope BOTM also has that one so it can match my first one.

    • @ArinHoney

    @katiemariereads 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Okay I am ALSO late to the party on Addie LaRue but I think its time I really need to pick it up. You've 100% convinced me to make The Reformatory the first horror book I read in 2024!

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Woooooooo!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts 😊

    @LibraryofLanelle 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    What. A. List.👏🏻👏🏻 I preordered Biography of X and still haven’t read it because I don’t want it to be over 🙃 Absolutely Loved Pew by Catherine Lacey, actually in the middle of a reread of it right now! Highly recommend if you haven’t read it!
    Yes yes yes to bright falls making your list!!
    I have been anticipating the Reformatory so bad but it’s yet another one I’ve been putting off 🤣
    Okay, well I’m kind of been terrified to read The Last House on Needless Street now!
    Yayy to Mosscap!! ✨
    Consider The Once and Future Witches bumped wayyyy up on my tbr!!
    You’re absolutely smashing this book tube thing, keep doing what you’re doing! SO excited to meet the new family members in future videos!! 🥰

    @manoeksbooknook 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi was one of my top favorites of this year and Addie Larue, A Psalm for the Wild Built, Delilah Green doesn't Care and the Once and Future Witches are all time favorites for me (read in other years) so I obviously have to read all the other ones on your list!! 😂❤️

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hahaha we’ve got quite the compatible tastes!!

  • @SweeeeetTea

    I so want to read The Reformatory, hopefully there will be time this January. But it's a chonker so I'm also kind of scared 😂 I think I need to check out No 3 and 1, they are definitely going on my never ending tbr :D Thanks for great recommendations! Happy new year!

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Happy new year to you too!! I hope you enjoy them 😊 The Reformatory definitely takes a bit of time, but I absolutely found it to be worth it

  • @mothmallow
    @mothmallow 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I definitely agree with your criticisms of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, and I'm glad there were elements that worked for you. I did not enjoy that book at all, but clearly many people did! I'm happy for you and for them. If you've read The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin, I wonder how similar of a vibe/style Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow has to it? One thing I remember from The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry was that it covered so much time and so many events that for my reading experience it almost felt like none of the moments had long enough to breathe and hit hard. Tomorrowx3 is longer so maybe it takes more time with the storytelling? I am really happy you enjoyed Delilah Green Doesn't Care! I've enjoyed every book in that series very much. Congratulations on the new additions to the family! 🐸🐶

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I haven't read The Storied Life yet, but Tomorrow x3 definitely covers quite a lot of time--a handful of decades, really. I personally didn't feel like it felt rushed or like I didn't get to properly sink into any period, but its definitely something to keep in mind!

  • @CliffsDarkGems
    @CliffsDarkGems 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Awesome video! Great to discover a booktuber who also speaks horror. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow sounds like a wonderful palette cleanser to read between the intense horror I usually read. I also love old school video games. The Reformatory has been so highly praised on booktube, looking forward to reading it in 2024. As a South African, I have a feeling this book will cut deep. The Last House On Needless Street is also high priority. Loved your review, hilarious! 😀Thanks for the recommendations and Happy New Year!

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Happy new year to you too! And yay!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts if/when you get to them 😊

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    If you like alternate history and/or mockumentary type stuff (and you haven't yet read these) you may like The Man in the High Castle by PKD and/or Daisy Jones & the Six by TJR. 😊 sorry if you've read these, this is the first video of yours I'm watching.

  • @nisei.reader
    @nisei.reader 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I told myself I couldn’t watch this video until I read the tea monk and robot duology (why did I tell myself that idk) and now they have been read and loved so I am SAT excited to watch this video hehe

    • @nisei.reader
      @nisei.reader 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    If you enjoy fiction that reads as history, you may enjoy The Revolution According to Raymundo Mata, by Gina Apostol.

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great, thanks! I definitely want to explore this lil subgenre 😊

  • @kuzmazuza
    @kuzmazuza 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Omg I love to see almost all the books because a lot of them are important to me! ❤
    „Im Glad My Mom Died” was, also my favorite book of 2023, she really knows how to write!
    Funny because even though I think we have similar taste “the invisible life of Addie LaRue” is the book that I really hate, I’m sorry😭
    I think the concept was great, but it was lacking something for me and it w as boring.
    I could rant about this for hours! You are right that Addie was not developed enough, girl was living 300 years and had no personality 🫢
    “Tomorrow and Tomorrow” is also my favorite from 2023.
    This book I everything🎮💜
    Because of you I actually recently bought “Delilah Green doesn’t care” and I can’t wait to read it.
    I wanted to ask if you read “Written in the starts” by Alexandria Bellefleur, because I think you might like this book. It was lesbian romance that I also love very much , and I’m not a romance reader.
    Another book that I really want to read from your favorites are “The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi”, “A Psalm for the Wild-Built” and “Reformatory” (I didn’t heard about it earlier), and “The Once and Future witches”
    I don’t know how to write short comments 🫠

    • @ArinHoney
      @ArinHoney  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I totally understand your feelings about Addie! It's a really interesting one, because I can rationally see all of the downfalls of the book but it hit me so hard emotionally that it just absolutely had to go on this list. I hope you enjoy the ones on the list that you haven't read yet!! 😊✨
