2023: World War III | 
For interested parties: a roundup of my 2023 reading year (the annual post for which I resurrect my neglected blog): https://commonplacehope.wordpress.com/2024/01/13/the-massive-reading-review-of-2...
“2023 was a year for both classics and chunksters: from the Little House books to The Count of Monte Cristo and Clarissa, I read lots of old books, lots of long books, and lots of long old books. And I read plenty of other stuff as well!”
my #top23of23
i had 32 5⭐️ reads out of 540, and conveniently, after taking the rereads off the list, i had my 23.
Over all, I read 61 books for the year (not great, but not terrible). Here‘s to more great reads in 2024!

I‘m a bit late to the party on this. I spent the entire weekend fighting the flu. I finished 52 books in Apple Books last year. #2023 #endofyear #applebooks #ebooks #audiobooks #abookaweek
I thought this was a surprising stat from my StoryGraph wrap-up. I know I read more light books at the very end of the year, but I read both light and dark year-round, and especially like dark stuff in October—I‘m surprised to see the line move so strongly upward! Its highest point is September and that was my month with the lowest ratings. 🤔
It says I only read 5 books from my own shelves but I think I‘m just bad at marking things as owned 😅

(I don't think the number of pages read is accurate.. gr doesn't differentiate pages read from minutes listened)

The number of books I read per year has gone down significantly recently, but I did achieve a goal in 2023: more than 50% were new-to-me titles. As a BIG re-reader, I'm going to count it as a win- and still celebrate that I exceeded 100 books this year. My 4 faves of '23 are pictured here; predictably, two YAs topped the list, but I'm very surprised that the other two took war as a central theme. Here's to all the titles ahead in '24!

well, it is what it is. some goals can't be achieved last year, but that's okay.
let's set a new goal for 365 new days ahead and try harder to make it complete this time. i love the shade of this year's banner, so i have a good feeling we're off to a great start. keep calm and read books~ 😉✌
📖 In “2023: World War III,“ the story depicts a war that broke out due to the breaches of boundaries that happened in China, triggering World War III.
