1. Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens - Technically read through most of 2022, but I finished it in 2023. I specifically read this the way it was serialized and I think that made all the difference in reading Dickens.
2 - 4. Abhorsen Trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen) by Garth Nix - A fun reread that kept me interested.
5. Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie - Very haunting book. Another one off my classics club list.
6. Hammer in the Sky (and other Wonder Tales) by LL Rose - A collection of speculative fiction short stories. Some were truly haunting. Received as a giveaway on StoryGraph.
7. Across the Wall and other tales by Garth Nix - short stories by Garth Nix. Primarily read to get more Old Kingdom tales.
8. Clariel: the Lost Abhorsen by Garth Nix - This was a DNF a long time ago. I enjoyed it much more this go around.
9. Goldenhand by Garth Nix - Final tale to Abhorsen story (as of now). Wow... this was really interesting and tied up many of the loose threads.
10. Angel Magic by Garth Nix - A bit tougher compared to his other books. Different magic system and not sure I was a huge fan.
11. Newt's Emerald by Garth Nix - Vaguely Austen type fantasy. OK. Not my favorite but it was decent enough.
12. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood - One of my classics club books. Just as good as I remember from reading it nearly 20 years ago.
13. A Curse so Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer - Beauty and the Beast retelling. Story itself was fine. Not sure I'm interested in reading the rest of the series
14. Weyward by Emilia Hart - Fantasy or magical realism involving witches. Feminist read. Loved it. Right in my wheelhouse.
15. The Last Word by Taylor Adams - forgettable thriller. Quick read but otherwise nothing special.
16. East of Eden by John Steinbeck - Read for classics club. Surprisingly engaging and one of my favorites so far.
17. Possession by A. S. Byatt - Read for classics club. I wanted to like this more than I did. Full review coming soon.
18. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - Readalong with my mom. Obvious reread. So much fun!
19. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
20. Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen.
21. The Man Who Invented Christmas by Les Standiford - This has been on my TBR forever and I was very excited to read it. It was underwhelming.
