TheLudicReader You‘ve had quite a time! Hope things are on the upward swing now. 3d
LaraReads @Bookwormjillk Thank you! ♥️ I would say I honestly like any genre as long as it‘s a good book. But I know that‘s pretty generic! So I would say: Contemporary Fiction, Literary Fiction, Romance, Fantasy, and Mystery are my most read. Thank you for the ToB link. Several of those look excellent! 3d
LaraReads @dabbe Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words. ♥️♥️ Will definitely take a look at those hashtags. 3d
LaraReads @Lesliereadsalot Thank you very much! 🥹♥️ All 3 of those look really great. I have added them to my reads for next year! (edited) 3d

CarolynM I‘m so sorry to hear all that. I hope that 2026 will treat you well. It is great to see you back here. 2023-24 were tough years for me. I read a lot of romance. Georgette Heyer was a big help. I‘ve read some great non-romance too. My favourite book this year isThe Axeman's Carnival 3d
