My #booksof2023. I did actually make it to 20 (my annual reading goal for non-work related books)! Book no.20 (no separate post): A Magic Steeped in Poison by Judy I. Lin - not entirely my cup of tea (couldn't resist), but I enjoyed the tea-infused magic & will read the 2nd part soonish. 💙📚

#booksof2023 #34 this was a book I read in episodes, mainly because I just couldn’t stick with it for longer than a few pages at a time. I should have LOVED this, but didn’t. Even the font and layout were hard on the eye. Worth the effort, but buy the colour hardback

#booksof2023 #33 @caitlinmoran’s highly enjoyable book about men (for men?). Always in her identifiable style, most always funny.

#booksof2023 #32 very enjoyable, informative, and slightly saddening. But there’s hope - and the author sets it out for us

#booksof2023 #31 this was great; full of unexpected corners. Characters utterly believable, and the twists and turns of the story engaging. A whole world in a book.

CLASS by Stephanie Land. Excellent. Not as drama-filled as MAID but thankfully that reflects the author’s own increasing stability, which is really nice to read. A must-read for those of us interested in increasing access to higher ed. #booksof2023

#Book 48 of 2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It has taken me years to finish this. Very interesting, informative but very high-brow. I have got the next two in the series but might leave it a while before I attempt them #BooksOf2023 #bookstagram 💙📚

The Last Caretaker, by Jessica Strawser. A little slower to get off the ground than some of Strawser's others, but delivers with excellent twists at the end. Some really, really fun characters in this one; I could read a whole separate book just on Dottie. #booksof2023

Thicker than Water, by Kerry Washington. A vulnerable yet funny insight into family, Blackness, and the joys and pains of stardom. Quite well written; did this one on audio and Washington's performance was a delight. #booksof2023

Amazon in Exile by Elizabeth Salo. Very cool blend of romance genre with well-researched Greek mythology Fantastic pacing; suffers a bit from characters telling each other more than they should. #booksof2023

Books of 2023. Elizabeth Hand has written one of two great haunted house novels in A Haunting on the Hill. Too good to do anything predictable, she delivers a follow on to The Haunting of Hill House you won't forget. #Booksof2023
