All Books Read in 2023

Here a list of all of the books I read in 2023. Some of them are books I read as a book reviewer. Links are provided where appropriate. If I did not review a title, I have provided an Amazon or Goodreads link to the book, where I posted a review.

 

I didn’t really have a reading goal for 2023, but I’m so thrilled that I read at least 100 book last year. Yes! That’s so awesome. See what you can do when you focus on your work instead of your progress?? The funny thing is, I had not included some of the books I read in my list, but my website of books I reviewed had a more accurate record of the books I read and reviewed in 2023. I thought I only had 98. Very cool that the total number is 101.

 

I don’t yet have a reading goal for 2024 but maybe that will change later. I’m thinking something along the lines of reading a book from the library every month, or something.
