And with that, the final reading month of 2023 has come to an end. I'm not going to sit and think too hard about 2023 but I will say that I had a pretty good reading year and that continued right into this last month of the year. I'm already excited about all the books I want to get to in 2024 and I'm hoping it will be just as good of a reading year, and a better overall year outside of reading.
In December, I read nine books. I thought I was going to read more but some of these books were quite long (over 700 pages) and I also started playing Stardew Valley. I put around 115 hours onto Stardew Valley this month which is insane and the main reason why I didn't read more. However, I'm pretty happy with my reading month and I have been really enjoying SV so I can't complain. Let's go ahead and dive in!

January is going to be a busy month and it's leading up to one of my most anticipated releases of the last few years (House of Flame and Shadow), so I'm hoping to do an in-depth reread before it comes out. I already reread Throne of Glass in the last couple months of 2023 so this month is mainly for ACOTAR and Crescent City. Any other books are mainly a guideline, though I think I'll be able to get through these pretty easily...
1. [New Release Redacted under St. Martin's Press marketing boycott]
2. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas (reread)
3. A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas (reread)
4. A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas (reread)
5. A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas (reread)
6. A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas (reread)
7. House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas (reread)
