2023 is over which means its time to compile my favorite books of the year. If you have been around for a while you will know that I don’t limit myself to 10 books because its really hard to narrow it down to 10 when you read as much as I do. Also why limit myself to 10 when I loved more and want to shout about them! So here are my favorite books of 2023 arranged by genre.
