My Top Five Reads of 2023
It’s funny how everyone seems happy to put the year behind them. I thought my 2023 was a good one. I definitely read some great books this year. The only reason I’m happy it’s 2024 is because I have some big plans this year. But let’s recap my top five books of 2023 before we look forward to what’s to come:
…My Top Five Reads of 2022
Well, another year over and one. 2022 wasn’t too bad of a year. There was definitely a lot of great books released in the past year. These are my top five books of 2022:
…My Top Five Reads of 2021
I cannot believe that 2021 is already over, and that 2021 turned out to be just as bad, if not worse, than 2020. But at least I got to read some great books last year. These are my top five books of 2021:
5. The Rose Code by Kate Quinn – another riveting WWII mystery by Quinn. I really enjoyed this one!
4. Matrix by Lauren Groff – completely not what I was expecting from Groff, but this novel was mesmerizing.
3. Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr – fantastic novel with three intersecting timelines, this one will be a reread.
2. Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro – I will never forget Klara’s story. The world does not deserve her.
And number 1 is…
Fight Night by Miriam Toews! I cannot believe how much I enjoyed reading this novel. I actually laughed out loud, which does not happen that often when I read. Toews is a great writer!
There are reviews for all five of these books on my blog. Hope I have inspired you to read some of them!
Indigo 2021 Reading Challenge
Believe it or not, this is the first time I’ve done a reading challenge. I decided at the beginning of the year that I wanted to expand my reading horizons, and the Indigo 2021 Reading Challenge certainly helped with that. I read genres that I never read before (self-help and true crime) and genres that I don’t read enough of (memoirs). I’m really glad I did the reading challenge, but I think I’m going to take next year off and focus on my TBR pile (which keeps growing, and growing). Here are the books that I read, you can find my reviews for almost all of them on this blog:
