Rather than just leave it to updating my yearly book list as I finish each book, I like to give you all smaller recommendation lists as we go through the year. So, if you’re looking for some of my favorite books of 2023 to add to your TBR pile this fall, you’re in the right place!

You can read my mini synopsis and thoughts if you click through to my 2023 Book List, or you can just take my word for it that these are the best of the best, and start reading!

(Psssst… you can find my summer list here)

  • With Love From London by Sarah Jio (Book #65 of 2023): A comforting read that was bittersweet and romantic with strong friendships. I wanted to jump into the pages and live there for awhile.
  • A Curious Beginning (A Veronica Speedwell Mystery, 1) by Deanna Raybourn (Book #50 of 2023) Actually, the entire Veronica Speedwell series (Book #50, #55, #56. #58, #60, #67, #68, #75). There are 8 books so far in the series and I’ve devoured them all. The series is set in the late 1800’s, but Veronica Speedwell is no boring lady. She’s a woman of science and solves mysteries with her handsome man friend, Stoker.
  • The Do Over by Sharon M. Peterson (Book #80 of 2023): A fun book of a woman who finally reaches a breaking point in her life and decides to make change happen because she DESERVES it!
  • Even When You Lie by Michelle Cruz (Book #86 of 2023): If you like suspenseful legal dramas, you’ll love this mystery that keeps you guessing to the end.
  • Magical Midlife Battle (Leveling Up Book 8) By K.F. Breene (Book #87 of 2023): Actually, read the entire Leveling Up series if you haven’t read it yet, it’s AMAZING if you love a hilarious ‘woman kicks butt’ fantasy series. This series is guaranteed to have me laughing out loud. With a book. By myself.
  • When in Rome by Sarah Adams (Book #3 of 2023) and Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams (Book #89 of 2023): Two fabulous romances set in the town of Rome, Kentucky. The first book focuses on the pop star and the surly pie maker. The second book is the pop star’s bodyguard and the pie maker’s shy sister. So, so good!

Happy Reading!

Use Your Library!

I feel like I’ve said this a hundred times, but it came up again recently and I just wanted to spend a couple minutes talking about how awesome it is to use your library!

Jack and I were at Costco, and OF COURSE we wandered into the books section. And I started grabbing books, reading the backs and liking them. And Jack started grabbing books and throwing them in our cart. Which I then throw them back out of our cart. Because even at Costco prices… books are expensive!

Instead, {PRO TIP} I started taking quick photos of each of the books we liked:

(Jack did end up getting one book while we were there, because we have a hardback collection of all the Last Kids on Earth books and a new one came out.)

Okay, so those quick photos? Yeah, when I got home I logged into our local county library, did a search for each title, and then added myself to the “hold” list for each one. Sure, some lists were long… but others only had one or two people in front of me.

In fact, within less than a week, three of the books from our Costco trip were waiting for me at the library to pick up.

If we end up borrowing all 5 of the books we looked at, that will save us a total of $61.95. Which is more than 6 Costco watermelon. Or a heck of a lot of snowballs this summer!*

There are even more options for those of us who have e-readers. In addition to searching the library for books you’ve seen, you can also search digital catalogues like OverDrive (different link by state but here is the one for Maryland OverDrive, and Hoopla for free books to borrow.

Anyways. Save some money and use the library this summer!

* For those unfamiliar, in Maryland we have these crushed ice snow cones called snowballs that are delicious on a hot summer day.
