Penny Yay, thanks for putting this one up! I'll refrain from 'voting' until I finish my first book :D


message 2: by Saturday's (new)

Saturday's Child Thanks for the list BookLovingLady. I always have trouble choosing just 5 but I also have fun doing so. :)


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Oh, excellent.


❀⊱RoryReads⊰❀ It's May and I finally remembered to look for this list. Thank you making it.

Rainbowheart Removed Heir of Broken Fate for being promotional spam.

Well done :)

Penny Hi guys,

I just got a shock because I didn't know until I saw what it says after her name now - BookLovingLady died 25 January this year. When I go back to last year's List I see it was posted there, but still a shock. I hope she's getting to read all the books she wants to in spirit xxx


message 8: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart I'll be sure to continue the list in her memory.

I found about it not longer after it happened, but it's still a shock. She was one of my first Goodreads friends.


message 9: by Donne (new)

Donne Well, after reviewing my read list, I had 26 5star rated books in 2023. However, I only saw three of those on this list. I also noticed that many of those 26 ratings belong to the writers of many of my fave series.

She was one of the first I remember conversing with me. We weren't 'Friends' but she was following me without me noticing until recently.
Maybe she knew she was going to pass when she decided not to run the list? I guess we'll never know. I hope it was an easy passing for everyone involved (if there ever is such a thing when you're only just in your 60s :( ). Still stunned a few days later...


message 11: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart I think she did. She had messaged me privately to say that she wasn't going to run the list because she had been diagnosed with a condition. I looked up the condition, but it didn't sound fatal, so I was just terribly shocked when I saw that she had passed away not even a few weeks later. :(

There's no upside, but at least she died before seeing Fourth Wing at the top of this list.


message 13: by Penny (new)

Penny Hi Rainbowheart,

Hopefully there's a new list? I've got a book to add to it already thanks to a readathon.


message 14: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart You guys are fast readers!

I will be sure to make the list this afternoon. If you don't see it by the end of the day, tag me here!


message 15: by Penny (new)

Penny Can you please leave a link to the new list? I can't find one yet?


message 16: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart Thanks for reminding me!

Your Top 5 Reads in 2024

I was on a list blitz yesterday and forgot this one. Please vote so that it doesn't disappear! I haven't actually read any books yet this year to add.


message 17: by Rainbowheart (new)

Rainbowheart Had to remove Lynessa Layne promotional spam from this and the 2024 list. Same three books, same voter, not-so-coincidentally with the last name Layne.
