100 Books 2023
Another year, another hundred books. Again, to be fair, I’m an audiobook girly til I die, and listen at a minimum of 2x the normal speed so that is a big factor in finishing so many books. Also, if you don’t count audiobooks as books you’ve “read” we are different breeds of readers.
My goals this year were more YA, more authors of color, and a wider variety of fiction genres. My ratings were all over the place, so if any on the list pique your interest, please ask!
Let me know if you’ve read any of these!
