Hi, I am Elena. I love historical and literary fiction =) For this year, I highly recommend “Where the forest meets the stars”, “The lost girls of Paris”, “A woman is no man”, “Miracle Creek” and “Searching for Sylvie Lee”

Hi all. I am Joan from Salt Lake. I love books, all genre and media. I like Ruth Ware a lot, I loved the books by Michelle Obama and Melinda Gates. I am currently reading Persuasion when facts don’t seem to matter and listening to The Witches are coming. I enjoy books by Joy Ellis as the prose is so very relaxing. As for magical realism I enjoyed UnderGround Railroad from last year I think and The Water Dancer.

Great choice Maria. Definitely a lifelong favorite for me.

Welcome Lisa!! The Silent Patient was a stand-out for many BookishFirst readers this year.

I LOVED Vox! I feel it didn’t get that much love when it first came out…

[whimsicalnarratives]

Hi everyone! I’m Kim or in bookish circles WhimsicalNarratives (Instagram). I’ve broaden my reading genres over the last year or two, but I will always love Fantasy the most. I love to recommend any book by V.E. Schwab!

[sometimesleelynnread]

Hi everyone! My name is Leelynn (sometimesleelynnreads) and I’m so excited for this! I need to do more first impression reviews so this should help me get the ball rolling! I love reading and listening to YA Fantasy, but I’m always down for some historical fiction, contemporary, and a little bit of romance every once in a while! Right now the book that I am recommending to everyone is We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia!

[bookishfirst_team]

Hi Kim! Welcome to the BookishFirst Forum. We hope the wide range of BookishFirst genres helps with your reading exploration.

[readerleslie]

Hi, I’m Leslie, my username is readerleslie (also my Twitter handle). I love literary fiction and historical fiction but often read mysteries and non-fiction, too. I read quite a advance copies of books. There are so many books I can rave about, but I do love Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and A Gentleman in Moscow. Just couldn’t get into Where the Crawdads Sing.

[chandareads]

HI! I’m Chanda. My favorite genres are Romance (fantasy, historical, and paranormal) and YA (fantasy, dystopian, and sci-fi). I listen on audio to about 70% of the 120+ books I read because I have a really long commute and work a job where I can sometimes listen while I work. The book I recommend the most is The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. I’m not even usually a big fan on contemporary, but THG is enemies to lovers at it’s finest.

[bookishfirst_team]

Hi Cathie! We bet many BookishFirst Readers can relate to the struggle of finding time to read. Hopefully you can find some tips to help with that here!

[bookishfirst_team]

Welcome Maria! We are so glad to hear that. What are some BookishFirst books that you read this year that were outside of your comfort zone?

[thewellreadpug]

• Jill (aka thewellreadpug)
• Favorite genre to read: Post-Apocalyptic/Dystopian
• The book you recommend most often to fellow readers: There are so many! I can recommend a book for just about any genre!

[thewellreadpug]

I loved VOX as well! It was my first ever ARC that I won (not from BookishFirst)

[kerrioke]

Hi all! I’m Kerri and my favorite genre is fantasy or sci-fi, though I’ll read just about anything. The book I tend to recommend the most is The Night Circus.
