2023: Year in Books

Happy New Year! In the four years of writing this blog, I have realised that summarizing the year's reading in a post allows me to reflect while also giving me a place to store the details.

To reflect on my reading in 2023, this post will summarize statistics and also highlight a few of my favourite standalone reads and series' of 2023. If a title is golden and underlined, it is linked to review for that book.

Stats:

# of books read in 2023: 151 books

# of pages read in 2023: 51,546 pages

2023 Goodreads Reading Challenge: 150 books (exceeded by 1 book)

All books recommended below are targeted towards readers between the ages of 12-17 years old (young adults)
