2023 has come to an end, and so has my Goodreads annual reading challenge.

I was able to finish 51 books this year, which is two more than last year and more than any other year since I started using Goodreads to keep track of my reading.

I get more excited about my Goodreads year-in-review than my Spotify Wrapped, to be honest.

My Goodreads year-in-review says I read about 17,000 pages this year, and while some of them were duds, I was easily able to list nine books that I really, really loved over the course of this past year.

Goodbye 2023! I’ll be sharing my annual list of the best books I’ve read this year shortly, but for now, just a quick post to recap what I read this holiday month.

Where has this year gone? There’s snow on the ground, tomorrow is December and I’m only one (!!!) book away from reaching my goal of 50 books this year!
