BEST READS OF 2023

Hey guys! Here’s my top reads this year. I finished 10 books out of 20, which I’ll take proudly. Most of the year was spent stressing and writing lol.

The only book not pictured is Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa (I listened to the audio book).

Also, does anyone else notice the colour scheme here? A lot of reds and purples. I’m loving the random colour coordination lol.

I hope you all had a great reading year and gained new favourites. I know I have. Let me know what you enjoyed!

Here’s to a year filled with more great and exciting reads! ❤️

Does anyone know what’s going on with ‘the girls I’ve been’ movie adaptation?

I swear all news just stopped & I can’t find anything from later than 2021😭

Have they even started filming?

All ik is that Millie Bobby Brown is playing Nora & that it’s “predicted to come out some time in 2023” wich, if you havnt noticed has been and gone already…

#this book was so good I’ll be so mad if they never end up making the movie #ngl I completely forgot about the movie adaptation for a while…😭#BUT NOW IVE REMEMBERED AND IM UPSET #WTF IS GOING ON WITH THAT #LIKE WTF?!?#LITERALLY NO NEWS #the girls I’ve been #book #books #movie adaptation #Nora #Nora O’Malley #the girls I’ve been book

for the uh. ask thing! top 5 books ^^

The Simon Snow Series by Rainbow Rowell - Of course this is my number one. Current obsession ❤️❤️ It’s honestly such a slay series omg my absolute favorite right now.

Under The Whispering Door by TJ Klune - Actually took me out. Obsessed with this book beyond all reason. It’s a love letter to grief and what comes after death and the uncertainty of life; with an extra little love story thrown in ❤️ This was such a beautiful read and it honestly made me cry and laugh and UGH I love it!

Rules For Stealing Stars by Corey Ann Haydu - Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL! A story to family, abuse, hiding, and learning how to not just survive, but to thrive. My favorite part of this book was the magic and the scenery. I would definitely recommend this!

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas - FUCKING BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️ A well-written story about a trans boy trying to prove himself to his traditional Latinx family with a dash of deathly romance thrown in 😌 Absolutely GORGEOUS! I loved the vibes of this book. A perfect October read 😍

The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe - Wow. Just wow. The mystery, suspense, and overall adrenaline of this story was INTENSE and refreshing and all the right things. In this story you learn of a girl named Nora who isn’t who she seems, her not so secret girlfriend, their best friend, and two bank robbers dead set on keeping them hostage. I could go on and on about this book and it’s brilliant storytelling, but I think it’s best for you to just experience it for yourself.

she’s an angel. she’s clean and she smells good. she always dresses cute and her lips r always glossy. she radiates angelic energy and attracts only lovely things. she has long, pampering morning and night routines. she works out everyday, eats healthy, and always makes sure she gets enough sleep. she does her skincare every morning and night. she’s sweet and charming and shows respect to everyone, while at the same time only allowing a sacred few to bask in her heavenly vibes. she is witty and intellectual, and always learning. she sees the good in everything. she stands up for what she believes in. her number one goal is to become the best version of herself. and of course, she knows that she is destined for happiness and success. ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

meg baby, I promise we’ll all look the other way if you decide to strangle that chimera ant built bitch. I promise we won’t say nothing.

#nicki got to be one of the nastiest bitches I’ve ever seen in my life #you ain’t had a fucking hit in 10 yrs good enough to act the way you do #it’s crazy it took her being so vile to meg for ppl to get it #it’s always ‘protect blk women’ w/her until it’s somebody she don’t like lmao #and her only beef with her is that she collabed with cardi #the only one who stuck by her side mind you so ofc she #she’s been terrible and I remember back in 2017 when ppl jumped me for ‘defending a Latina woman’ over her #the same bitch that co opted a hashtag meant for missing and murdered blk women for her own bullshit #while cardi was using her platform to speak up for breonna Taylor and police brutality? oh okay #she’s a nasty witch and her karma will come #rap beef aside #‘how you got 3 Grammys and can’t stay on beat?’#how are you the supposed queen and been rapping since Jesus was in Jerusalem but have zero?#bringing up her dead mother..you deserve to rot #cherry chats 🍒#I’m so happy cardi no longer feeds into her bullshit and lets her stupid ass talk to the wall #all the new girls are outshining her and I’m so glad they don’t have to grovel to her #the fact that these girls just came out and are her competition says more abt nicki than it does Meg cardi latto or anybody else #her peers should be missy kim queen latifah etc #and yet she’s linking up with 23 year olds and beefing with girls 20 years her junior #guess that predator spirit run in the family huh

Finally finished The Girls I’ve been by Tess Sharpe. I love the book so much. The found family. Heists. Con artists. An instant 5-star read!

But damn, no one told me how heartbreaking the book is! What Wes, Iris and Nora went through is so deep. I didn’t think I’d relate to Nora on a personal level but I did. I really appreciate how well the author represented victims of abuse and their thought process 🥲

#I love how I found it relaxing to read and then they raised the heat with some deep traumas lol #the love Wes Nora and Iris have for each other is so sweet #don’t get me started on Nora’s mother #nothing is colder than that woman #I related to Nora when it came to the clothes discourse #let me tell you that is a classic red flag for someone who is controlling #the girls i’ve been #tess sharpe #booklr #bookworm #bookblr #reading

Book 8 of 2022!

The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nora has been a lot of girls. The daughter of a con artist who targets criminal men, Nora finally managed to pull the ultimate con: escape. For five years Nora has managed to dust off her skills due to her current problems; her ex walked in on her and her current girlfriend; the morning after, they all have to meet at the bank to drop off the fundraiser money, a nightmare that goes from awkward to deadly, because; right after they enter the bank, two guys start robbing it. The robbers have no idea who they’re really holding hostage.

Content Warnings: child abuse, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, sexual assault, gun violence, pedophilia, abortion

What Did I Think?

I loved the writing style, it was really fun and action packed. I read this pretty quickly, it was just so gripping and page turning. I know it had some flaws like I know that’s not really how banks work and how Nora spoke a lot about how she’s bad but a lot of the time the trauma got there before she could really show any of that, but I didn’t even mind them too much. I also really like the way trauma was represented throughout the book, it made me feel like the author has personal experience with parental trauma. I recommend it and I’m also so excited to see this become a movie with Millie Bobby Brown!

Prompts:

Fits Popsugar’s prompt of “A Book Becoming a Film or TV Series in 2022” (although that is not true anymore like originally thought)

For the 52 Book Club’s challenge, I went with “Recommended by a Favourite Author”
