Nobody hungover here. Bunch of under-the-weathers stuck to cranberry juice with ginger ale for midnight toasting.
How is everyone else feeling?
Any interesting NY Resolutions beyond the usual lose weight, go to the gym, eat better …?

No one hung over here either. I was about 10 books shy of reading 100 books this year, I didn’t have it as a goal in 2022 it just was what I did. So I’m thinking it might be fun to read 100 books in 2023.

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.
Just how big do these books have to be ?

At least 200 pages or more. Sorry little golden books for kids don't count.
I was going to see if you needed any recommendations, but most of my collection is children's books. But if you're looking for a good one, Dragons Love Tacos is a modern classic.

Interesting title, looks like something kids would love.

What was the best book you read this past year? I read one that I LOVED called House on the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. It's a fantasy about a sort of social worker who visits group homes/orphanages to make recommendations about whether they should stay open.
The other fantastic one I read was Wild by Kristin Hannah....there were a few issues I had, mostly the ending because it didn't seem very plausible, but I liked it anyway.
What genres do you like?

I mostly stick with lighthearted books which include some smutty and non-smutty romance novels. But I'll read contemporary fiction too, I just don't want it to be too depressing. Oh and I read a fair share of Disney history type books too, my favorite author of those is Jim Korkis. The best contemporary fiction book I read last year was "Wish You Were Here" by Jodi Picoult and my favorite romances were "Hook Line & Sinker" and "It Happened One Summer" both by Tessa Bailey, the two books were a mini-series.

My favorite book ever, in fact I have read it at least 10 to 15 times is Wind From The Carolina's by Robert Wilder. It is a very long book but it covers at least 4 generations of one family that literally tore down their plantation mansion in South Carolina and shipped everything to Great Exuma Island in the Bahamas. Starting around circa 1764 for around 100 years. Lot's of all the stuff you mentioned but mild by todays standards.
Up until that book came along (my father bought it back in the days of Book Clubs) all I ever was interested in was "Bond, James Bond" and the occasional Agatha Christie. I picked up that book and I literally couldn't put it down. I was scolded and told to "put it down and get to bed. Tomorrow's a school day." I was a junior in High School at the time. Things have changed a little since then.
It was the first book that caught my imagination and made me feel like I was right there and not just reading about something. Even though I knew it was historical fiction, as an adult I went to the Bahama's and wanted so bad to hire a boat to take me to Great Exuma so I could explore and maybe find at least the foundation of that once upon a time fictional mansion. I still love to read but nothing has affected me like that book. I really cannot explain the hold it has on me. It wasn't a big seller and at one point I had to find it either on ebay or amazon. My copy was falling apart after a little over 50 years.

So what you are saying is Disney, you got me at hello, right by the wallet.

I read the entire Bridgerton series last year (so much less smutty than the series), as well as another dozen or so Regency novels by Julia Quinn.
I’m currently knee deep in the Anne of Green Gables series.
Being particular to cozies, Agatha Christie and M. C. Beaton are among my favourite authors.
I don’t read anything graphic, violent, or smutty. My kids were avid readers at a very young age, so my rule was - no books on my bedside table that would be offensive to a middle schooler.
This year, I’d like to get back into reading my physical Bible more. It’s just not the same on my phone app.

I finished the Jack West Jr series of novels by Matthew Reilly. Great if you are a fan of action/adventure novels.
Currently reading the new Stephen king one ( Fairy tale) . Not a horror, just a great story (so far).

Read some books last year, and my preference is nonfiction. The one I liked the best was this one:
