Yumi and the nightmare painter became an unexpected all-time favorite last year. The world is beautiful, and he's incorporated his inspiration so well! If you like stories on boats, you may want to read Tress and the Emerald sea.

Tress was actually my favorite book of last year! This makes me extra excited to pick up Yumi now, thanks for sharing!!

I'm in my 30s and didn't read Anne of Green Gables until last year, and I ended up loving it! Anne's rambling did annoy adult me more than it would have younger me, but it was such a joy to watch her grow and come into herself. I plan to read the second book this year.

Stop adding to my TBR 🤣 So many good book recs there. I read Anne of Green Gables as a kid and loved it so much I binged the series... that means one of two things... either kid me had great taste in books or I had no taste at all! The copies I read were my greataunt's and passed down so I still have and love the physical books 🥰

​@@cassandralynnreads I have been wanting to read adventures of Amina and Yumi and the Nightmare Painter. I have to eventually read Xoxo.

This is How You Lose the Time War is so good! I also have Foundryside on my TBR too. Anne of Green Gables is probably my favorite childhood book. It is delightful and emotionally moving, so I think you would like it.

@cassandralynnreads

I really, really hope I love Foundryside. It sound so incredibly good, so my expectations are a lil high!

I read City of Brass in 2023 and loved it. It was very heavy on the politics and the world building was pretty complex but it was still so good. I highly recommend it. The second book in the trilogy (Kingdom of Copper) is on my 2024 tbr.

Only book I've read off that list is Anne of Green Gables which was on my 23 tbr. It wasn't my favorite honestly but I've been told I would like the Netflix show better because it is a more current viewpoint of some of the issues I had with the book.

@cassandralynnreads

5 ай бұрын

I've been wanting to watch the Netflix show for quite some time, so maybe after I read it I can spend some time watching it!

I've been trying so hard not to read Brando Sando because I worry that my reading for the year will be only his backlist (and then frontlist, let's be real; that man writes faster than I can keep up with) and I'll be lost in the cosmere forever.... but you talking about his stuff has kind of sold me 🙈 Amina Al Sirafi is on my TBR too! I hope it and all of these books exceed your expectations this year 😃

@cassandralynn7 it's not as big in terms of world building and plot as his others, but I liked the politics and I guess for me, it's nostalgia as it was my first Sanderson book

I'm currently reading Priory and I only have about 200 pages left. I really, really like it but I was so confused for the first 100 pages but after that I kinda started to understand what was going on so I could enjoy it more I've also never read Anne of the green gables but I have an eARC for the manga version so I'll be reading that soon and one book that is definitely going on my tbr for 2024 is the new RA book which comes out in June I believe. just gotta figure out how to get it without breaking the bank because I collect the Australian editions and I used to order them through bookdepository
