Twenty-Six Books Read in 2023.

Here’s a chronological listing of the twenty-six books I read in 2023.

Eighteen were fiction and the remaining eight were non-fiction.

Before buying any more, I have an ongoing goal to finish the hundred plus unread eBooks on my Kindle, in addition to several dozen unread paper books.

Achieving this goal may take some time…
