[lauraelizabethmarazzi]

2023 Book List

Another good reading year for the books! This year I embarked on my first experience with a book club which has been a life long desire of mine! I can confidently say that in participating in it, I've been pushed to be more consistent in my literary pursuits as well as broaden the genres of books I normally gravitate towards.

My goal this year was to read 40 books which I'm happy to report I have surpassed! Last year, I reached for an ambitious 50, in which I sadly fell short. Moving forward, 45 seems to be the sweet spot for my reading habits.

This year, I've decided to split my reviews into genres of books to cover more ground and give a more focused scope.

1: Biographies:

This year I read a wide range of people's stories from the hyped up "I'm Glad My Mom Died" by Jenette McCurdy to Spare by Prince Harry, to lesser known titles such as Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones and Invisible Boy by Harrison Mooney.

Notable reads for me were Untamed by Glennon Doyle, I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jenette McCurdy, The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Macintyre for there strong writing, concise story, and depth of emotion.

2: Reese's Bookclub Picks

Anyone who knows me, is aware of my deep love of Reese's book club picks. She just never misses on the books she recommends and I've become an avid follower of her for this reason.

The ones I read this year are: Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman, Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister, and Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng.

All of them were great.

3: General Modern Romance

Perhaps one of my favourite genres, I read a great many books in this category.

Honorable mentions for great characters and story are The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary, Beach Read by Emily Henry, Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez, A Wedding in Provence by Kate Fforde, The Wake Up Call by Beth O'Leary, and The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion.

4: General Thriller

This is also a fun category for me and the ones that stood out this year for good twists were All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda, The Golden Couple by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, and Greenwich Park by Kathrine Faulkner.

5: General Fiction

One of my proudest accomplishments this year was reading Dune by Frank Hubert. Other standouts were Weyward by Emilia Hart and The Best Kind of People by Zoe Whittall. Both told captivating stories of nuanced people and circumstances.

As always, thanks for following along my reading journey.

You can follow along on Goodreads under the username: Laura Marazzi which can be found here: Laura Marazzi - Abbotsford, BC, Canada (378 books) | Goodreads

Happy reading!

If there was any film (from any time, any genre) that you could recast with Christina Hendricks and Manny Montana as the love interests, which one would you choose and why?

Oh, man, this is a really fun ask, anon! There are definitely a few noirs that immediately spring to mind, particularly Double Indemnity and Laura, and a few Hepburn-Tracy romantic comedies like Adam's Rib which would be wildly fun, and of course Martin Scorsese's debut, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore which almost took the cake, but I actually think if I could only pick one, it'd be An Unmarried Woman (1978).

This is actually probably one of my favourite romantic comedies ever, and it's a shame that it really seems to have fallen a bit by the wayside in the genre. It's electric to me, particularly for Jill Clayburgh's nuanced performance as the titular unmarried woman. She plays Erica, who finds out her husband is leaving her for a much younger woman, and a lot of the movie plays out as her trying to navigate her relationship with herself, her adult daughter, and men broadly in the wake of her life imploding.

She runs a small gallery though, and ends up meeting an artist, Saul, who she initially butts heads with before falling into bed with, and I love the way the film leans into their love story as a process of self-discovery and finding independence as opposed to one of shared reflection and co-dependence. It feels like a grown up love story, and it's that sort of thing that I think Christina and Manny could do really well, especially at their respective ages / the points they're at career-wise. Plus you know artist! Manny and Soho gallery owner! Christina with insane banter and chemistry would be epic, haha.

#i love casting people in stuff haha #so thank you! #this was fun #now i want to rewatch an unmarried woman #nbc good girls #kinda #gg cast #welcome to my ama
