Eleni’s Top Reads of 2023

December 29, 2023 by Eleni A.E. Leave a Comment

Hello again dear reader or listener, remember the week between Xmas and NY doesn’t count for Santa’s list, so I hope you’ve been having fun these last few days of 2023!
If I’m being honest 2023 was a bit of a mixed bag and life stuff plus the undertaking of an MRes meant much less leisure reading for me this year. If I hadn’t signed up for so many ARCs in fact, I doubt I’d have read as much as I did in the end. But I am also pleased to say I had some great reads regardless and now I’m gonna do my best to give you a top five. This was the year I leaned a bit more into the thriller/horror/Gothic ambiances even though in this list you’ll also find various subgenres of fantasy such as steampunk, epic, and historical fantasy, as well as some romance.

Charlie Battison’s Best Horror of 2023

December 22, 2023 by Charlie Battison Leave a Comment

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 […]

Josh Hanson’s Best Horror of 2023

December 19, 2023 by Josh Hanson Leave a Comment

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 […]

Graham’s (The Wulver’s Library) Top Reads of 2023

December 18, 2023 by The Wulvers Library Leave a Comment

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 […]

The Bookwyrm’s Best Reads of 2023

December 12, 2023 by Craigbookwyrm Leave a Comment

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 […]

Ed’s Top Reads of 2023

December 4, 2023 by Ed Crocker Leave a Comment

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 […]
