[Ri]

alone with you in the ether, fourth wing.

[Reece]

I'll be cliche and say my best book this year is 'Will of the Many' by James Islington. Close behind would be 'Lightbringer' by Pierce Brown! Both some hefty sci-fantasy series, but absolutely gut-wrenchingly beautiful :)

[Chris]

Fiction: tough choice, and I can't decide between Deacon King Kong (James McBride) and Once There Were Wolves (Charlotte McConaghy); Non-fiction: Bicycling with Butterflies (Sara Dykman). If I had to choose an overall winner I would go with Bicycling with Butterflies!

[Leigh]

Manacled by SenLinYu. It’s Dramione fan fiction and it’s perfection!

[kendra]

in memoriam by alice winn. it should be required reading for existence lol

[Tarn]

Mine is easily Happy Place by Emily Henry. Y'all ever read a book that feels like the author reached into your mind and articulated thoughts you didn't even realize you had? Like the book was written for you personally? Yeah that's how this book makes me feel.

[Nick]

It's a toss up between the whole Fallen Trilogy and The Kitten and His Prince by Julie Mannino

I thought Lor by Lily Mayne would make it for me, and I have liked it, but Im kinda dragging with it now.

[Izzy]

The song of Achilles!
I just finished it and I can’t stop thinking about it.

[Carol]

[f4iryerims ౨ৎ ⋆｡˚]

the saga of the cruel prince by holly black

[Booker]

I finally read Dracula & that's probably the best book I read this year. Well aside, from the entire Sherlock Holmes collection that I finished before March. Also the entire Witcher Saga, including the comics from Dark Horse.
Books that came out this year? Nah, didn't read any. Well, I did read volume 11 of the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess manga, the English translation came out in 2023

[Janaki]

In My Dreams I Hold a Knife If its a stand alone its ' in my dreams I hold a knife' the best psychological thriller I have ever read. If its a series then the twisted series.

[Marcy]

The Covenant of Water is by far the best book I have ever read!!!!! It is long, but too short once you become involved with the story. I have waited ten years for this writer to write this incredible novel. The last book he wrote was Cutting for Stone, another masterpiece.

[Skila]

Cruel Prince Honestly but The Hating Game is a close second
