We’re celebrating Friendsgiving in the Forum this week! 
In honor of Thanksgiving, we want to know what books you are most thankful for this year! This could include any BookishFirst wins but doesn’t have to.

lunar chronicles by marissa meyer
Definitely The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones (which I thankfully did win from BookishFirst). It’d been a long time since I read a horror story and this one was great.
Also adding Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse and The Empire of Gold by S. A. Chakraborty to my thankful list. These helped me get out of my reading slump!
I’m thankful for The Dartmouth Cobra series by Bianca Sommerland and The Asylum Fight Club series by Bianca Sommerland and Tibby Armstrong. Both were new to me authors and series this year. I fell in love with all the characters and the writing style and binge read both series.
Everything Jennifer L. Armentrout has put out. She released 4 books in 2020! That’s amazing! She’s awesome and actively engages with her readers on a daily basis.
I read/reread all of Sarah MacLean’s books this summer with a book club and it definitely helped get me through this difficult time. Feminist romance discussions with friends.
Happy Thanksgiving! Some of the books I’m most thankful for this year are The Canyon’s Edge, Now That I’ve Found You, Goddess in the Machine, The Kinder Poison, and Today, Tonight, Tomorrow.
I am grateful for every book I preview or receive from BookishFirst, but some of my favorite ARCs wereThe Rib King, Watch Over Me, and then I just purchased the memoir which I read sample chapters of: Surrender: A Memoir of Nature, Nurture, and Love
There’s so many I’m not sure which ones to list. The ones that stick out in my mind the most were “my grandmother said to tell you she’s sorry”, the pieces we left behind”, “ team of rivals”, the “book thief.”.
