I read 75 books in 2023 – here are my top recommendations
Hello! I'm Dannica and I love reading. I challenged myself to read 75 books in 2023 and honestly, I really thought I would just have to take the L and call it a day. But thanks to a few late night owls, coffee and just some great binge-worthy stories, I did it! Now that the year is coming to an end, I'm here to share with all of you my top 10 favorite books from this year that made me scream, cry, and tear up (positively).
My favorite genre of all time is fantasy, so this year I went all out with my fantasy reading bag. However, I've also dabbled in a lot of fiction, mysteries/thrillers, memoirs, and some romantic comedies! I think my top 10 is a pretty good mix of genres, so let me tell you all about the books that were close to my heart in 2023, in no particular order:
1. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by VE Schwab
2. The House in the Sky Blue Sea by TJ Klune
3. Happy Place by Emily Henry
4. Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent
5. On Earth We're Briefly Wonderful by Ocean Vuong
6. Red Rising by Pierce Brown
7. A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas
8. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
9. Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
10. Finally – Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley
And that concludes my top 10 favorite books of the year! Thank you to everyone who managed to get through all my enthusiasm. I've read so many great stories this year and I'm so excited to start my 2024 challenge! I think maybe I should try 80 books? I have no idea, but re-reading all of these books made me fall in love with them even more, so I'm pretty sure there will be some re-reads in the near future.
