I chuckled so many times reading this and I LOVED the gifs (and I don't even watch New Girl!) as well as the honest look at a year in reading. I'd much rather hear about the dropped books and forgotten-in-the-middle audiobooks (you should see my audio account) than just a top 10 of the year list. Thanks for mentioning The Deepest Lake! TWO gifs. I got TWO GIFS!! Truly a treasure trove of recs.

I loved Tessa Wegert's Death in the Family (and the second in the series) and definitely plan on picking up the next ones! I loved how complex the main characters were and the setup for their backstories.

And I cannot WAIT for Andromeda's book! Writing retreat! Murder! Mysterious past & weird retreat!!! All the things I love!

i love this list so much! And I am THRILLED to be on it!!! Also, holy shit, so many to add to my TBR, mainly bc I loved Andromeda's and Notes on an Execution so much (which I read based on your earlier rec). Also also, how are you so good at gifs? Is this what true passion looks like????

Ohmigosh, Caitlin, what a list (so many on here I want to read now! I want your private recommendation of which ones I should pick, given what you know of me :), the memes (or GIFs? Are they Gifs?) are hilarious, and I'm so honored to appear TWICE! xoxo

I admire your ability to read without an obsessive need to track or meet a reading goal. What freedom! Also NEW GIRL. Every gify got me I love it so much. I haven’t read quite a few on your list that I will need to check out - I was impressed by my Body too, although all I could hear was Jessica DeFino @ The Unpublishable yelling that you can’t subvert beauty culture by participating in beauty culture or something similarly genius.
