What did I read this Year? 2023 Edition

What did I read this year? In 2023 there were a lot of books in my hands and a lot of Manga, too. But it was a year of Manga in the end, although there were some re-read and new mystery books that I finished. It was a journey.

Hello, dearies! 📚📲

The year 2023 is coming to an end, and I feel like I didn’t read as much I would have other years, but I did because those Manga are long, and even I read them fast it’s still a lot. Though my TBR pile continues to grow and continues to look at me with a longing gaze because I haven’t gone through half of it yet, but it’s my goal next year to read more.

Let’s begin with my what I read in 2023 list though, you might find something you’ll love in it.

Read

Jujutsu Kaisen

(started reading, haven’t finished the ones available)

I’m still reading this one, but I started after the Shibuya incident started (season 2 of JJK) and I couldn’t wait week by week to know what would happen so I started reading and now I am beyond the anime, I know a lot of things that are going to happen next.

The Keeper (Stars Above)

If you read The Lunar Chronicles and love it, then this is definitely a most-read, though I do recommend reading after finishing TLC.

The Lost Book of the White

Ah, the shadow world, and my obsession with Shadowhunters and Warlocks, and everything in it. The Lost Book of the White just adds to that.

Lock Every Door

Yeah, I read it. And yes it was alright.

Fruits Basket

I fell down the rabbit hole and didn’t want to come back out from it at all.

♬ YES SIR – tlc

Fruits Basket (2019), checked. Fruits Basket (Manga), checked. Even Fruits Basket (2001 ver), checked. And only 1 conclusion, I have a serious problem with toxic characters but also with protecting damaged ones. It’s a 50-50 thing.

Dune

It was a long read, I won’t deny it and sometimes I didn’t think I would make it, but I pushed through it and beyond the storm there were some interesting things about this book that I really enjoyed.

“Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.”

Chasing the Boogeyman

If you follow my blog, you might know already that I don’t have a review for this one. And well, that’s all you need to know about what I thought of the book.

Re-read

Horimiya

I loved this so much last year that I had to have it on my bookshelf and well, I re-read it too. The first three volumes at least.

LDK

I like L❤️DK, but there’s something about it that doesn’t convince me 100%. I still re-read the first 2 volumes and enjoyed it, too. I haven’t finished the whole series though.

Onyx

I think this was this year, but I can’t remember exactly when… it still a good re-read no matter when. Lux is a favourite series.

I’m sure that I’m missing some re-reads, but these are the books that I read this year. Did you read any of these as well? Let me know in the comments.

Don’t forget to stop by my social media, too, for some fun moment from books, Manga and Anime.

Thank you for reading, dearies!

Happy end of December! 😊❄️

Dune: Book Review… sort of

Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Drama, Fiction, Classics, Space Opera

4 ⭐

Hello, dearies! 🐫

Today is one that I finished last month (I think). Dune, this was a long read, such a very long read, but I got through it! 👏🥳Good for me!

So, Dune, have you watched the new Dune movie with handsome Timothy Chamlet? I have, of course, about 3 times by now, might watch it again before the second part releases next year. But that’s not why we are here, and no, I haven’t watched the other Dune movie. 1984?

Fruits Basket – Manga Review… sort of

The anime sent me on this path… and it was worth it. 😍

Title: Fruits Basket

(フルーツバスケット, Furūtsu Basuketto) also abbreviated as Furuba or Fruba (フルバ)

Author: Natsuki Takaya

Genres: Fantasy, romantic comedy, slice of life

Original date: July 1998 – November 2006

In 2015, it began the Fruits Basket: Collector’s Edition (愛蔵版フルーツバスケット) where 2 volumes were compiled into one. Same story. But there are now 12 volumes.

Hello, dearies! 🎆🎐

Welcome to a new rambling about a Manga. I finished Fruits Basket this month, and found it quite interesting.

What shocked me the most about reading and finishing the Manga was that I knew where it was going because I’d watched the anime (2019 version), but I was still into it, it didn’t feel like a repeat, but at the same, it was a sort of comfort read, I don’t know if you know what I mean, but it was nice. And I liked it of course.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

Following the trend of it’s autumn! 🍂 Have I mentioned before that I love autumn, fall if you must, I call it both.

Rambling.

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: TBT

‘It was much pleasanter at home,’ thought poor Alice, ‘when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet — and yet — it’s rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what can have happened to me! When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I’ll write one.’

Author: Lewis Carroll

Genre: Nonsense Literature, Fantasy, Adventure

When did I read it? Ages ago.

Hello, dearies! 🫖

When I was little, I loved watching the Disney movie of Alice in Wonderland. Just a fun fact for you.

I didn’t read the book until my teenage days and found it as nuts as you can imagine.

It’s not bad. It’s just a lot of things happening.
