2023 Books
books
I read a total of 33 books in 2023, and couldn’t finish two others (Mercury Pictures Presents and Sun House). There were some great books, and some not so great.
Here’s the full list, arranged by rating and when I read them. The title links point to Amazon, which seemed to link more reliably to the ISBN10 code than bookshop.org’s ISBN13 urls, which seemed broken for older books.
The photo I chose for this post is from a one-day hike of the Pinnell Mountain Trail I did with Ned and his dog Cora.
