Reading Challenge 2023

I’m jumping on reading challenge 2023 earlier this year to get as many books as possible in.

I already have about 12 books on the waiting list and it’s only January. lol.

As you can see, I buy books faster than I can read them but thus the life of a reader. 

I launched my reading challenge in 2020 to develop a great habit and improve my mind while improving my writing skills. 

I’m very optimistic about how many books I can get through this year despite having to go back to school in February but I always love a challenge.

Reading Challenge 2023 List

So, here are the 12 books I’ve already lined up for reading challenge 2023. I’ll be breaking down month by month as I work my way through the list:-

• Beyond the Wand by Tom Felton – 3.5/5
• I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy – 4.5/5
• Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate – 2/5 (offensive)
• 142 Ostriches by April Davila – 3/5
• The Good Wife of Bath by Karen Brooks
• Hide by Tracy Clark – my friend swears I’m going to love this whodunnit!
• The Night Swim by Megan Goldin  
• The Fifth Gospel by Ian Caldwell  
• Those Who Wish Me Dead by Michael Kortya – I, unfortunately, watched the movie before I bought this book and did not like the movie at all. Hopefully, the book makes up for it.  
• The Way the Crow Flies by Ann-Marie Macdonald  
• Find You First by Linwood Barclay
• Wielder’s Prize by Elle Cardy  
• The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn

The list is a bit more varied this year. I’ve also joined a book club at work and I’m interested to see if that gets me to read even more books. 

As always, I’m also reading a few personal finance and mental health books behind the lines which fill my non-fiction quota.

This year, I’m also hoping to review some of the books I’ve been reading since 2020.
