What was your favorite book you read this year?

[flamebyrd]

Good question! I feel like I read a lot of things I liked but didn't really love. I read a lot of "cozy fantasy" that I was pretty neutral about. The Tainted Cup and A Drop of Corruption were probably the ones that I struggled to put down the most, but I don't think I'd call either my favourite!

Absolutely fair. Sometimes I find myself reading stuff that is just okay because it taxes the mind less. 😂

Wow!
