Books 2023

in

I wanted to make a posts with the books I read in 2023 back at the start of January, but time flies and here I am doing it at the end of March. I did a lot of reading last year. I set a goal to read for at least 30 minutes a day, normally getting up a half hour earlier in the morning to do it. Somehow I managed to stick with it and do it almost every day of the year. When 2023 closed out I ended it having read 63 books, which for me is crazy because I have never been a real voracious reader. Here’s what I read:
