Year of Reading Recap: My Top Fifteen Reads of 2023

 It's hard to believe the year is almost over, and another year of reading is "in the books". Sorry, had to go there. 

I love to look back on my list of books read over the year, and decide what were my favorites. My method is based purely on which books really stayed with me, made an impact, or were books that I remember thinking WOW when I read them. 

I couldn't pick a top ten, so I had to go with my top fifteen reads for 2023. 

Here we go, from number fifteen down to my favorite read of the year. I've included the link to my review of each book:

I read some wonderful books in 2023, even if I didn't get to everything I wanted to read. That's what 2024 is for--time to catch up and see what's coming on the horizon. 

I will be taking a blogging break until February so I can enjoy some time to chill, relax, and hunker down for January. 

Have a peaceful and joyful holiday season, a very Happy New Year, and I thank you all for reading my reviews and sharing your enthusiasm for reading with me.
