23 Books to Read in 2023

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning I receive a small compensation to help support my blog if you decide to make a purchase through my links at no cost to you.

One of my reading goals in 2022 was to finally tackle my physical TBR. I did pretty well finally getting my book buying under control, but I still own plenty of unread books.

I’m not really keeping a running total this year because that felt too much like homework. But I am still making my shelves a priority in 2023.

I would like to keep up with this list better in 2023 and do a final update at the end of the year. Last year I read six of the books on my 22 Books to Read in 2022 list. I also unhauled six of the books on the list because I decided I was no longer interested in them if I didn’t make them a priority in 2022.

I plan to approach my 2023 list with the same energy. If I haven’t read some of these by the end of 2023, I will probably unhaul some of these books throughout the year if I find I am not interested in reading.

Half of the list includes books on my Kindle. One of my 2023 goals is to use my Kindle more and stop impulse buying books that I could get from the library or buy cheaper as an ebook.

    I read 8 of the first 9 (not They Never Learn as that is on my own tbr) and loved them all! Plus I enjoyed ToG 4, Night Shift and What lies Between us!

      I’m reading the fourth ToG book now and I’m enjoying it so much more than the first three books.
