I've read this literally half a lifetime ago and watched the movie. Surprisingly, couldn't remember much but the premise and that this was a good book. I revisit the book and I was still floored by the ending, haha.

I've read a lot of good, no--GREAT--books this month. Didn't expect that. Will it ever happen again? Or maybe I was feeling generous with my ratings, haha. PS I finished a seventh book on the thirtieth but that will be talked about in the May wrap.

It's been a mixed bag so far. Very good reads or not even read yet! And I have an update for the library hold I have. Every book I draw I'm excited about because obviously I wanted to read these books last year, haha.

Hello booktubers and fellow book lovers! I thought it'd be great to check in and reflect on my somewhat unofficial goals for this year. How many books have you read so far this year? Are you finding new favorites?

I'm doing this wrap up in a new, fresh way. Whenever I finished a book, I talked about it right away so it was... well, fresh in my mind. That's probably why this wrap up is longer than usual, LOL. I don't have any spoilers.

some notes-- I kept looking off to the side to consult my notes. It was late at night so I wasn't fully awake here. These are the books I read in 2023 and most of these weren't published in 2023.

I visited the same LFL for 30 days to see what books came, went, and remained. I've done this experiment last year at the same LFL. Link for the first video: youtu.be/4l9QlvFHa94
There are some differences when compared to last year!

Thank you to all who've commented on my TBR Jar 2024 video. I've added your recommendations into the jar and pick my first book for 2024! I'll have plenty of time to pick up the book from wherever I can find it. This was fun!

If you mention one of the books in a positive light, I'll add it again into my tbr jar so I'm more likely to pick it! If you didn't like a book, I'll take it out for the first month.
