Top Ten Tuesday #43
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?
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is a beautiful story 🙂
It really is. So cute and deals with hard stuff. 😀
Atomic Habits is a good read – I listened to the Audible edition while getting ready for work in the morning; it gave me a great energy life.
I also read the Audible edition. I want to reread a physical copy so I can take notes and annotate it to help me implement his ideas better. 😀
Awesome list! I loved Atomic Habits. I have it on Audible and hardcover. Would like to read Only Girl in Town. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog today.
Thanks, Cheryl! 😀 I’m glad you loved ATOMIC HABITS so much. I’d love to reread it again. THE ONLY GIRL IN TOWN’s really good. I has a good message. 😀
The It Girl was a very good book! It was on my list last year. All of these are excellent choices! Happy New Year!
Yeah, I’ll totally read more books by Ruth Ware. 😀 Happy New Year!
Great list. I read Atomic Habits a while back and it really made a huge difference in my life. I’m not familiar with other books on your list.
ATOMIC HABITS has such great ideas and I love his ideas to implement what he talks about. I’m glad it has made a huge difference in your life. I want to reread it with a physical copy (I read the aduiobook) so I can take notes. 😀
I re-read ATOMIC HABITS every January because I find it so straightforward and motivating. I’m glad you loved it so much!
Happy TTT!

That’s such a great idea. ATOMIC HABITS really is worth refreshing every now and then. It has such great ideas. I want to reread it so I can take notes. Maybe, I’ll read it again this month too. 😀
I haven’t read any of these books, but it looks like an interesting mix of books. Happy 2024!
Thanks, Kristi! 😀
I haven’t read any of these but have been meaning to try Ruth Ware! Thanks for dropping by my post!
If you do read THE IT GIRL or another of Ruth Ware’s books, I hope you enjoy them. 😀
I’m a big fan of Ruth Ware’s thrillers. The It Girl was a good one. Happy 2024!
Yeah, I kept guessing second guessing who the killer was. I’ll definitely read another of her books. 😀
Great list! I’d always seen Atomic Habits on the shelf and never thought much of it cos I don’t read non-fiction books. But then I saw someone review it the other day and I realised that I had no idea what it was about but it sounded great. I’m excited to try that one this year (hopefully, lol) 😃 I hope you have an amazing year of reading in 2024!
I totally understand. I normally don’t read non-fiction either. This past year was quite strange for me to read not only one but three, lol. If you do read ATOMIC HABITS, I hope you enjoy it. 😀
I’ve not read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight but I saw the movie adaptation last year.
I didn’t even realize there was a movie adaptation. I’m definitely going to have to check it out now. 😀
Atomic Habits is so popular right now, I’m thinking I should probably check it out soon. Great post!
It really is. I think it’s because it’s the beginning of a new year and works with people’s resolutions. It really does have a lot of great ideas so it’s worth the read. 😀
I haven’t read any of these myself, but I have heard of some of them. I loved Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros myself. It was my absolute favorite read of 2023.
Yes, I saw THE FOURTH WING on so many lists. I’m going to read it very soon. I have to know what everyone’s raving about. 😀
The Measure was terrific! I guess I forgot to include it on my own favorites list (oops), but it was such a good story, with so much food for thought. It still comes up in conversation, even months after reading it!
It really was. It made me think the most out of all the others one I read. I still think of it, yes. I’m planning to suggest it to my book club this year. 😀
I read Atomic Habits last year too! My book club loved it. I hope you have a great 2024.
That’s awesome! I really loved his ideas. I listened to the audiobook. I want to reread the physical book so I can take notes to help better implement his ideas. 😀
