Another year has rolled around. It's time to take stock of what has gone on and what is to come. 2023 was a good reading year for me. I read 290 books although I had hoped to read 300. I read a good amount from my shelves and gave away what I read. I joined another book club so I'm now in four; a mystery, a science fiction, a reading around the world and a literary fiction group. I did my first book challenges the 52 Books and Reading Around The United States with the Book Girls. My daughter moved out to her own apartment so DH and I are empty nesters once again. Here, in no particular order, were my favorite reads of the year:
- Starling House by Alix Harrow
- The Enchantress Of Florence by Salman Rushdie
- Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell (a reread)
- Museum Of Failures by Thirty Umrigar
- The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
- The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne
- City Of Miracles by Robert Jackson Bennett
- The Lost Kings by Tyrell Johnson
- South Of Broad by Pat Conroy
- The Once And Future Witches by Alix Harrow
- Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead
- Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver
- Tomorrow And Tomorrow And Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zavin
- The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles
- Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr
- Thistlefoot by Gennerose Nethercott
Here are my goals for 2024:
- Read from my shelves again and give away what I've read
- Read Middlemarch and one other classic
- Read an entire science fiction series, an entire mystery series
- Finish all my challenges for 2024
- Write seventy-five reviews for Netgalley.
As always, Happy Reading!
