And just like that another year goes by! To be selfish for just a second, 2023 has been a great year for me and my reading. I finally feel like my university hangover has come to an end and so I have read more than ever before! At the time of writing, that is 50 […]

Francisca’s Year of Malazan
What happens when you spend the year devoting all your time amongst rowdy marines and meddlesome gods? Well, it destroys your TBR and you start swearing by Hood’s balls at every opportune chance. This has been my year of Malazan and I rarely ventured outside of the series to read anything else. So, here is […]
C. J. Daley’s (CJDsCurrentRead) Top Reads of 2023
Another year gone, another chunk of my TBR entirely ignored while a read an entire set of books that were new to me (for the most part). From finishing the inaugural Indie Ink Awards at the start of the year, to my first year with BBNYA and SFINCS, I’ve pretty much counted anything I wrote […]
Josh Hanson’s Best Horror of 2023
2023 strikes me as a year in which here were a shocking number of great debuts, but as I look back, the trend seems to be a year in which established writers in the horror scene have all of a sudden thrown down their very best work, many of them publishing books that I have […]
Neilthebookguy’s Top 5 Reads of 2023
2023 has been a year full of exciting reads for me. In fact, I have read more self published books than I have ever read in one year. On top of that, they even make up the majority of the 65 books I’ve read this year! All that to say, I’ve read a lot of […]
Graham’s (The Wulver’s Library) Top Reads of 2023
This year I’ve had some real reading highs, from having my own Bookstagram and reviewing on there, to joining the wonderful team at FanFiAddict. I’ve read so many amazing books that it was really hard to pick favourites this year, however I’ve managed to whittle down to a top 5, followed by some worthy honourable […]
Rachel’s Top Reads of 2023
I went from a reading slump in prior years to reading over a hundred and fifty books in 2023. It was also a big year for reviewing, making a concentrated effort to review most of my reads and joining FanFiAddict to highlight the cream of the crop. Below are some of my favorites from the […]
Lord TBR’s Top Reads of 2023
Another year gone, another chunk of my TBR taken down. Problem is, the TBR continues to grow and all of these have already been replaced. Since we still have 18 days to go in the year, this isn’t my final count, but here are my stats for 2023 – these counts include children’s, manga, novellas […]
The Bookwyrm’s Best Reads of 2023
Suffice to say, 2023 has been my best reading year by far. And not just for the quantity read, but most importantly the quality. I have read widely across the SFF spectrum, both self-published and traditionally published, reading many authors for the first time, and discovering some new favourites along the way. This year has […]
Charlies Top Reads of 2023
Seriously we can only choose 10? Given the unfeasibly difficult task of narrowing down my ten best books from this year was no easy task. 2023 really was the year of indie books for me, that’s not intended as a slight to traditional published books. Just that I have been spoilt for choice with the […]
DB Rook’s Top Reads of 2023
Top reads…top reads, ok let me think about the few books I actually managed to read throughout this year amongst my ever-growing pile of things I needed to do for; A: my day job B: my family C: my physical and mental health D: my own fledgling author journey E: the world as it crumbles […]
Ed’s Top Reads of 2023
Narrowing down my favourite reads to ten was fun and not at all deeply traumatising This year has been a mildly seismic one in my reading tastes (think an earthquake which knocks a few books off your shelf and then quits while it’s ahead) which, as you may notice from this list, are mainly centred […]
