what was your favourite read of 2023?
I can't pick just one, but my top reads of 2023 were Age of Myth, He Who Drowned the World, The Thursday Murder Club and The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi 🙌🏼
I went on my Malazan journey this year, so definitely Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson!
My most surprising top read for 2023 was A Guide for Murdered Children.
Cassidy in her YA era
apparently
Fireborne was one of my favorites last year. I read the entire trilogy as it released, and I barely survived the wait between books. I’m so glad you loved it.
Thank YOU for trusting me and trying Fireborne! And then giving it the ✨Cassidy effect✨and making lots more people pick it up hehe. It truly deserves all the love and more! Please please please Rosaria hurry up and give us your next series.
Numbers 2-4 are all high on my 2024 priorities and I can't wait!
I CANT BELIEVE I JUST PUT OFF READING FIREBORN FOR SO LONG THANK YOU FOR NEVER GIVING UP ON IT!! this is what im hoping happens with mask of mirrors too HAHA just never give up on making me read things, cause without you I wouldn't have experienced this incredible piece of art!!!!!!!!
I really need you to continue eska, also would be very curious on chronicles
That's quite the list! I'm 62% into The Emperor's Blades and I'm enjoying it so far!
Yay I'm happy you're enjoying it!
Love that you go with what you really enjoy and not just for the "best writing". I want to read stuff that I have FUN reading. New subscriber. Added extra stuff in my tbr now.
My favourite reads are Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, especially the latter. Usually it's hard to pick just one or two, but not this time. These two stand out the most and I thoroughly enjoyed them both and love them wholeheartedly😊 And this is all thanks to you. Thank you for introducing me to Fourth Wing, that's a true gift. ❤Thank you!❤
I'm so happy you enjoyed them so much. It's always amazing to have stand out books
My favorite book of the year was Children of Memory, the final book in Children of Time. I’m always forgetting to pick up sci fi books and then when I do, they end up being my favorite! Glad you had such a great reading year & I love always watching your content 🥰 I’m just the worst about actually commenting lol Have an amazing 2024 🎉
hiiiii!!! im so happy you continued to love that series! I defs associate you with loving sci-fi so I hope you continue to pick them up and love them!!!
There are so many books on your fav list that I desperately want to read!! I did read Ghosteaters and FourthWing and loved them!!
Serpent was so goood! And I also absolutely adored The Will of the Many! Looking forward to picking up many of these others!
I think our reading taste is pretty similiar in fantasy!! So I hope you love some
So many of these are now on the TOP of my priority TBR!
My best book(s) of the year were the Faithful and the Fallen series. I read Malice, Valor and Ruin this year and fell in love with these characters. I’m sure when I read Wrath this year it will become an all time favorite series for me. ❤❤❤
Such a great list, I’m pleased you had a great reading year! Fourth Wing was also in my top 10 🏆
It was such a good read
So many of these would be in my top ten too! Will of the Many, Fourth Wing, Crowns of Nyaxia...so good!!
Also I'm so excited for Hayes-a-thon!
Oooo I have had red sister on my shelf for awhile now but hearing you talk about it finally motivates me to pick it up.
I cant wait to get to ghost eaters. So happy to see it on this list!
I need to read crowns of nyxia too 😂
I added sooo many of these to my tbr
❤️🍒🍓🍄📕
Ahhh you must read all of these
I predicted some of these on your top list. I knew Eska would be up there for you as well as The Will of the Many and Powerless and Fireborne and Fourth Wing. Fourth Wing was also in my top list. I hope 2024 is another great reading year for you!
Yes I hope we have a really good time in 2024
Bless you for introducing me to The Nyaxia duology!!! 💖📚
I still love the Licanus trilogy, lol. 😂
Dang...I thought for sure WOTM was your #1!
My favorite of 2023 was Wolfsong - I absolutely fell in love with that whole series! 😍
❤️
happy to have brought you a favourite!
hahah that's fair just wasn't for meeeee! I think a few ppl were shocked by how low it is, but im really a series reader! so it needed another book out already haha to get higher
Not me forgetting that Aurelian Cycle was this year, hahah. I am making that top priority for 2024, along with Nyaxia. It's a damn tragedy that I haven't read those yet!! Also, HECK YES for Will and Eskaaaa 🥰🥰🥰
And can't wait for you to finish Book of the Ice, the last one is the absolute best imo.
I just posted my Favourites list on Before We Go Blog, including some stats, so check out the goodies there 🤩
Happy New Year, Cass. Thanks for being such a large part of what made 2023 incredible ❤❤❤
honestly fire borne feels like I read it SOOOOO long okay, I can't believe it was this year!!!!!!!
Thanks for being around this year esmay, forever loving your reviews and just you
@@CoverswithCassidy but honestly!!! 2023 feels like it lasted ages yet it also flew by. Oh and how did I forget to yell about Unhewn Throne?!?!?! GIVE IT THE LOVE IT DESERVES!!!!
have loved every single second of being here. thank you for being you, you are a blessing ❤️
It's so much fun to watch your enthusiasm for all your favorite reads.
This reminded to read more Mark Lawrence. I've read Broken Empire and Red Sister + Grey Sister, but need to read Holy Sister still.
I so agree on The Will of the Many. This wa my number 2 read last year. Can't wait to see where this series goes now after the epilogue. All the possibilities!
In 2024 I also should pick up more Rob J Hayes. I've read the first 2 Mortal Technique books and really loved them. I bought a lot of his backlog as well and it seems I should try out War Eternal soon.
I had a similar experience with Emperor's Blade. I've read it in 2014, liked it, but didn't love it. But I never followed up with the rest of the series. I think I should re-read it and continue the series.
YA is really not for me, but I've heard you loud and clear. If curiosity wins out, I'll pick up Fireborne.
ahhh thank you so much this is honestly such an amazing compliment
A well deserved win! I still can't believe it was only this year that I finished the trilogy (after starting it in 2020), what was I thinking?! So brilliant
What were you thinking ;) idk howwwww
I ❤ Aurelian Cycle sooo much!! It was my #1 last year. This year it's The Book That Wouldn't Burn
I'm excited to read this this month
My favorite of the year has to be Blood Over Bright Haven, loved it soooo much 😍Really want to get to so many of your favorites 🤗
❤
I'm super excited to try this one
Nyaxia is on top of my FanRo TBR and I also want to try The Will of the Many, because it's been everywhere.
My favourite books of 2023 were Legendborn and The Children of Gods and Fighting Men
It's so gooooid! I Hope You enjoy Will it needs more love !!!!! Such good books for you in 2023!
Nestlings sounds so interesting so that's definitely going on my TBR but I feel like there's only one book I can pick for your bingo spot: along the razor's edge!
READ NESTLINGS but also yes I agree with using eska for me
My absolute favourite read of the year was also a series: the All Souls series by Deborah Harkness. I'm hoping to get to Serpent and the Wings of Night soon, I have really high hopes for it.
So excited to read more Rob J. Hayes. The Year of Hayes! 🎉
Me too it's gonna be fun
We had several of the same top reads this year!
Go us!!
Powerless was so much fun, agreed. 😊
IT WAS JUST A VIBEEEE
Dystopian Novel : The End Of Silence by George Ernest
now i have so many options for my video my favorite book was by far the isles of the gods a ya fantsay, that needs more people to read it!!
My 2 best books of the year (I can’t choose between these 2 🥰) A Curse For True Love and Love, Theoretically
I need to try the true love series!!!!
I have not read any of your top 10, but I've got them down to give a try!
I Hope You enjoy!!!
I have the same opinions on that YA fantasy trilogy. In 2023 I really learned to keep an open mind with YA
Yes same, like there are some strong ones out there!
Your number 1 is either going to be Rosaria Munda or Brian Staveley, I know it in my bones 😂, i think the will of the many will come behind those 2 in 3rd place
Update: Yay i got the top two right 🥳, I totally forgot about Rob J Hayes haha otherwise i would totally have guessed that he would've made top 3 😅
ooooohhhhhhh
I knew it was gonna be powerless when you said you didn’t wanna put it in 😂
😂😂😂
Your hairdo in this video is giving Lindsay Lohan's Parent Trap and I love it 😍
Really enjoying The War Eternal series
this makes me happy!
Pausing at the beginning to guess some books that might be on this list: The Serpent and the Wings of Night, The Will of the Many, Fourth Wing as a honourable mention
This is a good list of guesses
I think my favorite was Fourth Wing. I did read Fireborne. Clearly I need to pick up the rest of the series!!!
I hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
I feel like this year was one of my worst years enjoyment wise... But I was also stressing because of grad school. Spring semester was awful due to a group class with some unrealistic classmates. Fall semester was stressful because it was my final semester.
I'm hoping next year will be more solid.
I am eager to read some of these. I feel like sometimes we need mindless reads so I always look to add some to my TBR.
I really enjoyed Nat Cassidy this year. I believe I liked Mary better but nestlings was solid.
I feel like the Aurelian cycle will be first spot. I read that and thoroughly enjoyed. Had four days off of work and read all three during that time.
I forgot about Brian Staveley yet I have him on my list of Tentative series to start next year. It 100% moved up because of you. Shows how I went through the last few months of the year in a daze. 😂😂
Hmm. I don't have a solid answer for favorite of the year, but maybe King/Emperor of Thorns, Ruin of Kings, or Promise of Blood. I really liked Touch of Light, the Book of the Ancestors trilogy, and Legends & Lattes, too.
sounds like you had a good year!
@@CoverswithCassidy Yeah, I read a lot for me.
I guessed a lot of the books you’d have on this list, but was way off on some of the placements! 😂❤
haha I feel like im vocal about books I love, but sometimes its hard to figure out where they are
The Will of the Many was so incredibly good! I'm kind of afraid of trying Licanius now that I've heard so many people think TWofM is far superior 😅
yeah id be scared to go backwards tbh !
Why does it feel like you read Fireborne years ago? I finally bought copies of the second and third book so 2024 is the year I finish the series!
it really does feel like its been FOREVER since I read it! but I read it in April LOL
Do you not have the dust jacket for Jade Legacy?
HAHAHA I think they are ugly, and shiny so I took them off. I love the look of the all black
I think either Fireborne or the will of the many will be number 1
My favorite books of the year(I’m not order) Tress of the Emerald Sea, The Will of the Many, Her Little Flowers and Serpent and the Wings of Night
Powerless making the top ten 🙌🏻
This book was the plot twist of my year and I love it
serpent and ashes!! 🤩🥹
did i give you that full watch time knowing i won’t be reading the majority of these? perhaps 😂. i really need to read ghost eaters with how much you’ve talked about it at this point 🍄
I believe we even had a book we both read on this ;) HAHAH but yes read ghost eaters please
I honestly can't pick out a book as being a standout favorite this year 😢
oh nooooooo
I wasn’t necessarily surprised by these but there were a couple where I was like that wasn’t this year 😅
I FELT THE SAME when making my list I couldn't believe it
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ fourth wing.
Yaaaaaaaaaas
I am surprised WOTM wasn’t higher but it was probably so hard to choose the placement of each book/series.
Yeah I think it could have placed higher but my love for series means I have more books in those that I remember and loved.
I knew all 10!!!! Hahahah but not in the right order hahaha.
im impressed! but also im just so vocal when I love a book so this makes me happy
i predict your favorites are probably emperors blades, esca series, and will of the many 🤔
👀
@@CoverswithCassidy hahah YESSS!!! thats how you know i watch like all your videos 😂i was thinking fireborne too but for some reason i thought you read that last year
@@StarLitLibrary this seems to be a common thing
Ok guessing that fireborn is going to be high up there!
👀👀👀👀
Yessssssssss
it is well deserved@@Kristenisfullybookd
❤
❤❤❤
thanks for watching
and now I want to reread Fireborne...
❤❤❤
I thought this same thing
Do it!
🔥

okay pausing to guess the best book is either the will of the many or fireborne (i think you read it in 2023?) lol
dang it number 4 ok i’m holding out for fireborne lol
along the razor’s edge is on KU so i’ll try it in 2024 🫡
hell yeah fireborne!!!
WOOHOO both good guesses, also I feel like everyone keeps thinking I read fire borne last year hahah AND YES YOU MUST READ ESKA
🍓
Thanks for watching
My guess is Eska
