I try to read 52 books every year, but unfortunately that did not happen this year. I only was able to read 47. I am not gonna lie, I am disappointed in myself because I let other things distract my time which could have been spent reading. I know I could have hit the 52 book mark if I had used my time more wisely.
Thank goodness for a new year. A time of beginnings and learning from the past to make the future better.
Out of all of the books I read I think my favorite book was one titled For the Benefit of Those Who See. It was an eye-opening book that helped me to understand better the visually impaired community. I walked away with a new point of view and was able to see some of my own shortcomings in my opinions of those with visual differences.
Lolita was the most controversial book I read. I can understand why it has caused such a sensation in the past, and why it should continue to do so in the future.
I think I read more fiction books this year than I have in many, many years. I got hooked on The Godfather series (having no idea there were so many books!) as well as a couple of book recommendations from Sarah that thought I might enjoy.
As in previous years, I tend to read the same genres, and branch off seldom into new topics. I delved more into Mafia books than I have in the past, and will probably add that to my genre list (which includes: the Middle East, Black History/Experiences, Drugs/Gangs, American History (1700’s - 1920’s) & Biographies. (I feel like I am forgetting something…)
Anyway, here is a lot of the books I read in 2023.
