My Top 10 Books of 2023

 My favorite books of 2023 are:

 

10. When We Had Wings by Ariel Lawhon, Kristina McMorris, & Susan Meissner

I love historical fiction and this book was an area of WWII fiction that I honestly didn't know much about, the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. A great cast of strong female characters. 

 9. Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis

This book is set in a library, need I say more? 

8. Code Name Edelweiss by Stephanie Landsem

Another interesting story that is different from the typical WWII fiction, focused on the homefront

7. The Last Life Boat by Hazel Gaynor

A book about hardships and survival 

6. Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree

So much fun, a cozy fantasy to enjoy

5. People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks

The story of an ancient manuscript and all of the people who interacted with this book throughout its long history

4. The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams

Such a charming story with a diverse set of characters all brought together by a list of books 

3. Spare by Prince Harry

So interesting and honest

2. Once upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan Henry

For any fans of Narnia, this special story is lovely

1. Fairy Tale by Stephen King

I'm not gonna lie, I was afraid to pick up a Stephen King novel but this one was sooooo different and soooo good.
