It's time! What were your favorite books of 2023? It doesn't matter if they were published this year or if they were from a previous year (give us both if you've got them.) Make our
TBR lists weep before we make our New Year's resolutions.
Maybe you're looking to join the
MR Users 2024 TBR Reduction Challenge or the
2024 Reading Challenge and need ideas. Let's give each other some ideas.
Review (and update) your
2023 Challenge List, your
GoodReads Year in Books, your StoryGraph library, or any other book diary you keep. Then let us know what books we should add to our 2024 reading plans and decide what threads to lurk in at the
Deals forum.
Here are some ideas about what we would like you to share with us:
What were the best books you read this year?
What excellent books do you recommend that were published in 2023?
How did your anticipated 2023 books hold up this year?
And, what books are you looking forward to in 2024?
And
be sure to mention why you enjoyed each of these books so we can decide if they might be a good fit for us.
If you find it hard to remember what books you really enjoyed this year,
issybird suggested making a "best of <year>" category at Goodreads (or wherever you track your reading) so you have it for next year.

I know this is a little early so if you're reading a book that has promise, feel free to post about it too. Threads aren't automatically locked, so if you want to wait till after the first of the year, that works too.
