The Best Books
I Read in 2023
I read nearly 30 books this year, which might not seem impressive to some of you, but I had been in a book-reading slump for a while now. This year, however, around April, I suddenly found myself reading as voraciously as I had back in my heyday. It felt great. And so I decided that I might as well aid anyone else who is looking for a good book in finding something to read. Below is a gallery of my ten favorite books of the year (I was planning on only showcasing five, but I couldn’t deny any of these).
