I really hesitate between The Secret History, Age of Myth et Jade Legacy (which I cannot seperate from the rest of the series...I guess I'll go for The Secret History though :)

If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend A Long Petal of the Sea by Allende. I read it in Spanish so I can't speak to the English translation but in my opinion it's her best book!
Fourth Wing; read it just before Christmas and I’m still recovering 😂
Oath and and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, Liz Cheney
mine was the hunger games series, the writing, the characters, everything was written so beautifully.
the second and first book of the aggtm series !!
for me it has to be crooked kingdom , i read it at the start of the year and im still in love with the world and the characters,
I can’t choose between Don Quixote and Ulysses.
Iron Flame gave a cliff hanger at the end, it comes after Fourth Wing. Loving both those books!
I thoroughly enjoyed the Throne of Glass series, I don't know about which one was my favorite out of the series, maybe between Tower of Dawn and Kingdom of Storms (I tandem read those two).

Shannon, I read The Hundred Year Old Man in 2017 and LOVED it!! Another fave is this year's novel by Isabel Allende, The Wind Knows My Name, translated from Spanish. I also loved The Long Petal of the Sea (a nod to Nicole for her comment here), which wasn't published in 2023 but WOW. I've read most of Allende and she never fails.
My absolute favorite book of the year was "The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin. It's a literary marvel – fantastically well thought out, brilliantly crafted, and the storytelling is just next-level. The characters, the world-building, everything about it had me hooked from the first page.Guess what? I got the rest of the series for my birthday! I'm over the moon and can't wait to dive into the next installments by N.K. Jemisin. Here's to more captivating moments and epic adventures within the Broken Earth trilogy!
The Great Alone & Nightingale.
The Drowning Woman by Robyn Harding
West with giraffes,The great alone and
Fourth Wing
I don’t think I have a favorite book of 2023. But one book that I’ll always remember is caught up by Liz tomforde
My favorite fiction piece was All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby. My favorite non-fiction piece was Woman Evolve by Sarah Jakes Roberts.

I'm a huge fan of Backman and Jonas Jonasson who wrote The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. In fact, I like Swedish writers in general...I too prefer soulful and quirky books:)
