My Year in Books - 2023
Since 2020 I have kept a habit of keeping track of my read titles, and posting them on Facebook by the end of each year.
For this year, however, as my interest in having my social media up to date approaches zero, this form of annual content is moved here instead.
So here are the titles I have read throughout 2023. There are those I love and those that I would not recommend, in any case my opinions on the individual titles are irrelevant to this article, for this is simply a chronological listing in good faith, no more and no less.
