Buzz Books 2023: Spring/Summer | Publishers Lunch

As Lee Corso would say: Not so fast! I‘m not quite done with 2023 after all.

I went to the trouble to determine my #top23of2023 so the least I can do is post the list.

Since I also took the time to calculate some author stats, here they are:
-68 individual authors
-46 new to me
-49 women authors
-21 authors of color

In addition I read six books by LGBTQIA authors and/or with POV LGBTQIA characters.

Texreader It looks like we have similar book tastes. Many of the authors I like. But I‘ve only read The Haunting of Maddy Claire. This looks like an awesome list. A great reading year! I still plan to figure out my 2023 favorites so I‘m glad to see your post that I‘m not quite too late 12mo

BarbaraBB Interesting list and stats! Now I want to make that kind of stats too 😀 12mo

IndoorDame Love this list! 12mo

Leave it to me to start off the year with a migraine! 🙄

So, I‘m now getting to all of the posts and readings I slated to do today! I finally compiled my #Top23Of2023 list, albeit with a wonky graphic. I amazingly read 151 books last year (not counting the picture books and early reader books for #BBRC ), and I had a hard time narrowing down my top 23.

Thanks to Barbara for carrying on @Cinfhen ‘s tradition!

Librarybelle Thank you, @Bluebird ! 12mo

Bluebird Great list of favorites! I read 4 of them this year, and they were all in my top 20 of the year: Black Cake, Lost City of the Monkey God, Tom Lake, and the Masterpiece. Several others are in my TBR list—will need to bump them toward the top. 😀 12mo

Librarybelle @Bluebird Thanks! I gave 5 stars to Tom Lake and Black Cake - so good!! 12mo

DGRachel I hope you are feeling better now! 12mo

Librarybelle Mostly, @DGRachel . Thank you! 12mo

BarbaraBB Great list! I can‘t wait to read Tom Lake! 12mo

Librarybelle @BarbaraBB Thank you! I loved Meryl Streep‘s narration of it, so I‘m a bit bias on the audio version! 12mo

*Finally* got round to posting my #top23of2023!

In no particular order, these are most of my 5 star reads of the year. There were another 10 or so that didn‘t quite make the list - very difficult to choose.

Thanks for the tag @BarbaraBB and for continuing @Cinfhen ‘s wonderful tradition.

Tamra Black Butterflies is on many top lists. 😁 So wonderful. 12mo

For various reasons, I had an enormous slump this year, and did a lot of rereading, so not quite my #top23of2023 but at least my top reads…. Here‘s to a better year in 2024! Thank you so much for the tag @BarbaraBB xx

squirrelbrain Great list - a few will be on mine. (Which I‘m finally getting around to posting!) 12mo

sarahbarnes Great list! Some of these made my list too! 12mo

BarbaraBB Like I said on Instagram, we share so many! Here‘s to a peaceful 2024 without reading slumps ❤️ 12mo

#top23of2023 @BarbaraBB

Because my collage app won't accept 20+ photos, you've got my #auldlangspine list plus a few that didn't make the final cut.

Caroline2 Oh great looking list! 😮 12mo

TrishB Thank you 😘 starting to decide on mine. Great list. 12mo

rockpools Ooh, that *is* a good looking list. I‘ll have a think when I‘m off next week - the last month has just been chaos. I‘m not sure I‘ll make 23 this year though… 12mo
