Overall

• A very visual media year! Even among the books there are two graphic novel series. A mix of it sometimes just being what my tired brain could cope with + I like to put something on the TV while I eat dinner.

• Total fail on the non-fiction front. I started one non-fiction book and still haven't finished it. I did manage to wander out of the sci-fantasy sphere a couple of times at least.

• In contrast, plenty of variety among my TV media, ranging all the way from game shows to gritty dramas. Movies also didn't fare too badly, though there's a definite lean towards my favourite genres.

• Picking a top 3 for TV was hard! There were a lot of good new finds this year - other runners up include Deadloch, Severance, and Deadwood.

• Much more likely to be adventurous with my TV and seek familiar comforts with the books and movies, apparently.

• When will my gaming stamina return from war T-T In my defense two of the games clocked over a hundred hours each, didn't they Larian.

• I'm only counting DNFs where I consciously decided this piece of media was not my cup of tea, so there were an entire other 8 games I started but didn't quite wrap up in 2023. It could yet happen, though. I swear. One day.

Parable of the Sower is nearing the top of my TBR list! (This currently means: my local library actually has it.)

And what a stellar 100+ hours they are turning out to be. XD
