DivaDiane SM’s Reviews > 2023 on Goodreads > Status Update

So far this year, I’ve read 60 full-length novels and novellas, which is still pretty darn good for me. I’ve also read a lot of poetry collections, a bunch of short stories (especially toward the end of the year, when I bogged down with longer works) and some shorter non-fiction.

I’ve read a graphic novel, 2 novellas, a children’s picture book and a poetry collection since I last updated here. Updating my “review” will have to wait until I’m back home and can use my computer for linking to books. The books are:
The Assassin’s Apprentice 1, Vol. 1; Neom; The Future Second by Second; The Gravity of Existence; and Take out the Dog.

The Clackity, by Laura Senf. I enjoyed this quite a bit. More than I expected to given its horror.

Fenris & Mott - I enjoyed this very much. Perfect middle grade voice.

Finished The Marvellers, by Dhonielle Clayton. Lovely book.

Two books finished in 2 days. No, book hangover! You will just have to wait! I have no time to take a break!

Recursion, by Blake Crouch
The Mirrorwood, by Deva Faga
