I have quite a few books I wanted to read last year. Unfortunately, life happened and I didn’t get to very many. Here are my top ten books I meant to read in 2023 but didn’t get the chance:
What about you? Which books did you mean to read in 2023 but didn’t get the chance? Do we have any in common?
P.S. Please forgive me if I don’t return your comment until tomorrow or Thursday. Today and tomorrow are a little busy for me. Thanks!

Favorite Books of 2023
Even though I didn’t read very much last year, I’m still really excited for today’s prompt. I always love sharing my favorite reads from the previous year. I’ve decided to exclude any rereads from my list. Here are my top ten eight favorite books from 2023:
Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune
Radical Love by Zachary Levi
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E Smith
The Only Girl in Town by Ally Condie
The Measure by Nikki Erlick
Building a Life Worth Living by Marsha M. Linehan
Atomic Habits by James Clear
The It Girl by Ruth Ware
What about you? Which books were your favorite reads from 2023? Do we have any in common?

Bookish People I’d Like to Meet
Today’s prompt nearly stumped me enough to skip this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post. However, since I haven’t joined in the fun since January, I decided to work through it. The original prompt is “Bookish People I’d Like to Meet.” I decided to put a spin on it and go with “Hogwarts Teachers I’d Like to Take Classes From.” Here are my top ten:
Albus Dumbledore
Any Subject
Minerva McGonagall
Transfiguration
Filius Flitwick
Charms
Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank
Care of Magical Creatures
Rolanda Hooch
Flying
Horace Slughorn
Potions
Bathsheda Babbling
Ancient Runes
Aurora Sinistra
Astronomy
Septima Vector
Arithmancy
Remus Lupin
Defense Against the Dark Arts
I don’t really have an interest in Herbology or I would’ve had Professor Sprout on my list. If I had to take Divination, I’d take it from Firenze not Professor Trelawney so I’d actually learn something. Because I’ve been sorted into Slytherin, I may take potions from Snape but I’m a little iffy on that since he’s so moody. And, even though I love Hagrid and could learn a lot, I think Professor Grubbly-Plank would be safer, LOL.
What about you? Which bookish characters would you like to meet?
I learned in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics, or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.

Favorite Books of 2022
I’m so excited for today’s prompt. I’ve been thinking about my favorite books from last year all December. I’ve decided to exclude any rereads from my list. Otherwise, almost my entire list would be old favorites instead new ones. Here are my top ten favorite books from 2022:

Books on My Winter 2023 TBR
I honestly love the original prompt for today. However, I only got two books for Christmas this year. This is completely fine because I have enough of a backlog as there is, lol. For those who are curious, I received a beautiful new edition of DUNE by Frank Herbert and PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION by Emily Henry, and I’m excited about both of them!
Because I missed the prompt, I’ve decided to go back a couple of weeks and do the yearly “Books on My Winter 2022-2023 TBR.” (I changed it to Winter 2023, though, since we have less than a week left this year.) As always, I may plan to read specific books during the next few months because they fit a challenge, they’re for book club, or whatever. Whether I stick to my plan is all dependent on my mood as I can’t force myself to read something I’m not in the mood for. Here are ten books I might read this winter, mood permitting:
I’m most excited to read A FIRE ENDLESS by Rebecca Ross because I adored A RIVER ENCHANTED earlier this year.
What about you? Which books are on your winter TBR? Do we have any in common?
