Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Favorite Books of 2023
Even though I didn’t read very much last year, I’m still really excited for today’s prompt. I always love sharing my favorite reads from the previous year. I’ve decided to exclude any rereads from my list. Here are my top ten eight favorite books from 2023:
Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune
Radical Love by Zachary Levi
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E Smith
The Only Girl in Town by Ally Condie
The Measure by Nikki Erlick
Building a Life Worth Living by Marsha M. Linehan
Atomic Habits by James Clear
The It Girl by Ruth Ware
What about you? Which books were your favorite reads from 2023? Do we have any in common?
Bout of Books is a week-long readathon held every January, May, and August. It’s low-pressure. There are optional reading sprints, Twitter chats, and Instagram challenges.
Bout of Books 39 is here! With everything that’s happened in the last 8 months, my reading has almost been non-existent. I’m really excited to get my reading on this week and hit 2024 running!
During the week as I participate in Bout of Books, I’ll keep track of my progress on this post. At the end of the week, I’ll post a wrap-up with my totals.
