I’d definitely be interested, although I don’t know how consistently I could participate since my time for reading has nosedived this year.
Final. Top Ten Books I Read This Year 1. Pierce Brown - Lightbringer (Red Rising #6) 2. Matt Dinniman - Dungeon Crawler Carl (all six books in the series, really) 3.

Antonio Iturbe - The Librarian of Auschwitz 8. Heather Morris - Three Sisters 9. Brandon Sanderson - The Sunlit Man 10. Steven Erikson - Deadhouse Gates
Finished the year strongly but I do need to cut back on reading. I felt that I was forcing myself to read some ARCs and i definitely need to do quality over quantity next year. That being said, In Ascension by Martin Macinnes was my top read for 2023 and I highly recommend this to Interstellar fans and those wanting something different to read. It came out of left-field for me and has me thinking about it almost daily.
