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.

𝗢𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟰𝟭 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, about ⅗ have been from the 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯’𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯/𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦/𝘧𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘺 genres. And about ⅕ of my reading has been of 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑒 titles from a wider range of genres including literary fiction, mystery and crime, and the final ⅕ has been non-fiction titles, ranging from writing craft to self-help, via autobiography and memoir.

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.
