2023 reading

 I'm still recording what I read into the Goodreads app - when I remember that is - I think only about two thirds make it on. But that's OK, it gives me a better idea than I used to have, which was absolutely none! Twice in the past year I went to add a book and discovered I'd already read it, which is embarrassing, because I had totally happily read it all over again without realising. Anyway here is the 2023 list:

The Supernatural Enhancements	Cantero, Edgar
Nona the Ninth: 3	Muir, Tamsyn
The Book of Form and Emptiness	Ozeki, Ruth
Station Eternity (The Midsolar Murders, #1)	Lafferty, Mur
Her Majesty's Royal Coven (Her Majesty's Royal Coven, #1)	Dawson, Juno
Happy-Go-Lucky	Sedaris, David
The Space Between Worlds (The Space Between Worlds #1)	Johnson, Micaiah
A Few Days in the Country and Other Stories	Harrower, Elizabeth
Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes: The Official Biography	Wilkins, Rob
Love All	Howard, Elizabeth Jane
Less Is Lost (Arthur Less, #2)	Greer, Andrew Sean
The Art of Memoir	Karr, Mary
A Devon Night's Death: The gripping cosy crime series (Devon Mysteries, 5)	Austin, Stephanie
Beyond the Burn Line	McAuley, Paul
Nobody Gets Out Alive: Stories	Newman, Leigh
Now Go Out There:	Karr, Mary
Remainders of the Day: More Diaries from The Bookshop, Wigtown (The Diary of a Bookseller, #3)	Bythell, Shaun
Mr. Breakfast	Carroll, Jonathan
Now Is Not the Time to Panic	Wilson, Kevin
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow	Zevin, Gabrielle

From Bad to Cursed (The Witches of Thistle Grove, #2)	Harper, Lana
The Hundred Loves of Juliet	Skye, Evelyn
Beeswax and Tall Tales	Crowley, Jane
A Bird in Winter	Doughty, Louise
Terciel and Elinor (The Old Kingdom, #6)	Nix, Garth
The It Girl	Ware, Ruth
Fractal Noise (Fractalverse, #0.5)	Paolini, Christopher
The Sinister Booksellers of Bath (Left-Handed Booksellers of London, #2)	Nix, Garth
White Is for Witching	Oyeyemi, Helen
Mickey 7	Ashton, Edward

There are a lot of light reads in there - cosy murder mysteries, modern witches and non-challenging science fiction. Most of them I can't remember much about at all. If I had to pick my top two from the list it would be A Little Life - I cried. I don't cry when I read, but I cried at this one. Amazing - and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow - this was great, I wished it was twice as long. I also loved the latest from Tamsyn Muir - should be another one due soon, which I am very much looking forward to. David Sedaris is always great, and the biography of Terry Pratchett was very good too.
