My Top 5 Reads of 2023


I had intended to do my top reads of 2023 sooner. I’ve been thinking about it since the start of December. But it took me a while because I have kinda overcomplicated it…
Last year I simply did a top fiction book and a top non-fiction one.


This year I went for categories. Picking a top fiction and a top non-fiction was simply too hard.

I hope this helps throw some recommendations your way.

And I’d be delighted if you could let me know in the comments what books you’ve enjoyed this year.
