The Most Recommended Books of 2023
Last week I wrote about Ben Fox’s new book recommendation site, Book Shepherd. Not only does he ask authors to propose categories for their own recommendation lists, but recently, he asked the authors who have submitted lists to chime in with their favorite reads of the past year, and why those books resonated with them.
You might see a pattern in my favorites – I love being drawn into the world of a novel and falling in love with the characters. This was especially important for me this year because I spent a few months in a rehab facility waiting for my injuries to heal, and reading was my handiest method of escape.
What other authors had to say
As part of Ben Fox’s project, he combined the lists so we could see what all the authors and super-readers in the group recommended. You can check that out here—the list will keep growing through December. I’ve already added a bunch to my already overflowing TBR list.
Happy reading!
