The Complete List of Books I Read Last Year (2023 Edition)

 

                                                            A small corner of our home library

Last year (2023), I challenged myself to read one-hundred books and unfortunately, I only read eighty-seven. I recorded every book as I read them, so here is the complete list! 

It may seem like a lot of books when you read the list, but that's okay. Some of these books are on the smaller side and some of them are very large, because as I have said before, I read a wide variety of books. 

There is also a reoccurring pattern, which is the I read entire series before reading a different type of book 😀.
