at the beginning of 2022 i made a goal to read more. and i did! i read a TON in 2022 and it really had such a huge impact on my life. so i wanted to carry that goal into 2023! i started off strong. but then had lyla in august haha and definitely slowed down. i still read (and listened) to tons of great books in 2023 though so i wanted to just share a quick list with you guys of everything i read this past year!
in addition to the books i’m sharing with y’all, i also read a morning devotional and/or do a bible study! not including those here since those aren’t as much ‘book books’. also, i’ll spare you and not give a book report on each book in this list lol and just give a quick blurb on whether i loved it or not!
fiction books
i feel like recommending a book to someone is like recommending a show. it totally depends on that person’s taste or preference haha i personally never really get into like ‘fantastical’ type of books, and i also typically don’t love historical books either. thrillers / mysteries are my go-to! so that’s most of what’s on the list below, with a few other genres sprinkled in!
non-fiction / self help books
i am so excited for a new year and so many new books on my list i can’t wait to dive into! i’d love to hear from you guys! comment below and let me know what book or books you read in 2023 that really rocked your world!
