Like at least five others, I'm about to hit play on the first Brandon Sanderson secret project as my first book of the year. Also reading the book @theagentcoma got me last year in our fantasy book gift exchange (join us next year if you like fantasy/sci-fi/horror!). I've set a goal of 30 minutes of reading with my eyes (it's hilarious I have to make this distinction) every day until April 1st, so hoping to put a big dent in my nonfiction backlog that I've built up over the years. My big goal for the year is to read every Malazan book, but I'm trying to finish a list of audiobooks before I start that. Hopping into a new half marathon training program, so hoping to get back into my regular rhythm that let me read 250 books in 2020-2021.
I’ve got the first 21 books (or so) in my Audible account due to how bad of a financial decision I make every time they do the site wise 85% off sale.

Welcome to 2023! I got a few books for Christmas so will probably start selecting what I’ll begin the year with!
I read this recently and it was cute fun with some nice nostalgia but I didn't feel it was groundbreaking. Sometimes that's what I want from novels though so it was okay and that's alright! Hopefully you get some enjoyment from it! I also started SP1 and it's really nice. Reads so different because of the scenario and i'm excited for more. I'd love to read Malazan but my goal is to read ASOIAF (ive never read that in full)!
I wasn’t that excited by the preview of Tress, so I’m in legit shock how much I love it. Pitch perfect YA fantasy.
1. Hua Hsu — Stay True 2. Jia Tolentino — Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion 3. Jeanette McCurdy — I'm Glad My Mom Died
1. Stella Maris - Cormac McCarthy Currently about halfway through The Light Pirate. My goal is to read 30 this year.
Both were really good! Highly recommend them. Finished Light Pirate late last night. Both were a bit distressing in their own right, but there was also a lot of joy in The Light Pirate. Have you read The Passenger?
Honestly, I think you could read them in any order you wanted. Since McCarthy released Passenger first its probably best to start that with that one.
