#2665 – 2023 Book List

Only Fragments

Jan 1

I rounded out 2023 with a total of 74 books read. Out of those 74 books, I read: 24 fiction, 34 nonfiction, 15 poetry and short fiction collections/anthologies, 18 books by queer authors and/or featuring queer characters, and 10 books by authors of color and/or featuring characters of color (to the best of my knowledge). The highlight of the year was reading/rereading most of T. Kingfisher's books, especially her horror novels, which are fantastic. Cannot recommend her works enough!
