#AmReading - The Books Of The First Half Of 2023

We're half way through the year, and so far it's been a pretty productive reading year for me.  I'm something like 13 books ahead of schedule on my Goodreads reading challenge goal, having now read 38 of the 52 books I pledged to read in 2023.  At least, that's how it stands at the cut-off point for this post.

 

Anyway, since I keep forgetting to post what I’ve been reading eachmonth, I thought I’d catch you up on what I read during the first half of theyear all in one post.  Though I’m notgoing to include my ratings and reviews, or the post will get way too long.  So, if you want to know what I thought of aparticular book, you can either check out my reviews over on Goodreads (whichyou don’t need to be a member of to see my reviews) by going to my Goodreads page, or ask me about it in the comments section of this post or something.

 

There's quite a variety of genres on the list, such as historical, classics, mystery, children's stories, poetry, fantasy, paranormal romance, and post apocalyptic, for example.  In other words, this post is a perfect example of how diverse and eclectic my reading tastes are.

 

Anyhow, here’s what I’ve read so far this year, whether for book clubs, because I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review, or just because I felt like it, in the orderI read them.
