It was hard to pick only 10, so I somewhat randomly chose from my top reads of the year. I could do another one or … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite books of 2023
I hope you'll continue to indulge me as I do more wrap-up posts, which are mostly for my own edification. Last year was the first time I assembled a post reviewing all my fiction reading for the year, and it was interesting to see what patterns emerged.
