2023 was another rich year of reading, and putting my Annual Book List together was a good way to remind me of so many great titles. This list offers those titles with briefest of descriptions (genre, setting, subject, etc) and a link back to the monthly post in which the fuller entry originally appeared. Perhaps you’ll find your next book here? Click through to peruse. . .

That’s a deceptive photo heading this post. . . those are books my husband and I bought ourselves for Christmas, and you’ll have to wait at least a month before they start showing up here. But I have a full slate of books I read in December — as usual, these range across the genres: literary fiction to memoir to popular genre fiction, book in translation, children’s novel, historical fiction. . . it’s all here. Hope you’ll find something that appeals and that you’ll leave us a comment about a book or two you’ve liked (or not) lately. Click through to join in! Happy Reading!

I read less (and more lightly) in October, thanks to all the travel. A few mysteries, a French novel, and an Italian one (the latter is very good and has been translated into English, recommended).
