Bookmarked 2023 Week 50

10+ links that I bookmarked this – my birthday week – about books, tech and travel.

// bookish

one+ I’m a huge fan of audiobooks and have bookmarked so many “new to me” books to listen to from AudioFile Best Audiobooks of 2023 and Libro.fm’s Top 10 Audiobooks of 2023.

two+ What did you think of the Winners of the 2023 Goodreads Choice Awards? Have you read any of the books? I loved Fourth Wing, Rebecca Yarros, so glad to see it won in the “Romantasy” category.

three+ As much as I love the holidays, I don’t mind a little bit of dark reading … it’s probably the best time for it, so yes, I will have some of Horror for the Holidays, Or, Scary Novels To Read While Being Nice to Your Family

four+ This is the Word of the Year, According to Oxford … rizz. Interesting.

// tech

five+ Now you can Download Instagram Reels (and Stop Others From Downloading Yours).

six+ 22 Techy Gifts for $50 or Less is one of the most practical gift guides I’ve seen (I plan on gifting myself some of the things on that list).

seven+ I like seeing how other people have organized themselves, and this was a good read -> Digital Organization System || Requirements, Tools, and Habits.

// travel

eight+ Caribbean Carnivals Calendar | Carnivals To Go To in 2024 – this list right here! Carnival is the perfect time to go to the islands if you like a party atmosphere.

nine+ We’re heading to Mexico for the first time at the end of the year, and pretty much following this 7-Day Cancun Itinerary: Best Things to Do (2023 Travel Guide).

ten+ If you’re taking any trips soon, NomadicMatt’s Favorite Gear for Travel covers the little essentials that you shouldn’t leave home without.
