My Books of the Year 2023

One of the convex novels I read in 2023 Romantic comedy by Curtis Sitenfeld Which is a fun and refreshing original absorption of the genre. I also really liked it Robert Galbright’s flowing grave Which is the seventh trip to Cormorant Stake and Robin Elakot’s detective agency as they penetrate a sinister cult in Norfolk.

Sailor It was a memorable story about the new motherhood. Maggie O’Farell’s marriage portrait was placed in the sixteenth century Florence and devised the marriage of 15-year-old Lucreia Di Kosima De’Meditsi to Alfonso, Duke of Ferrera.

I reviewed at least one non -fiction book written by a woman every month in 2023. Islands of abandonment by Cal Flynn stood out because of its clear and perceiving prose for abandoned landscapes and the natural environment and was deserved on the Baillie Gifford Award list in 2021. I think I think Attack Warning Red! by Julie McDowell This year I had to have more attention because of my anxious and often gloomy funny view of how the UK was preparing for a nuclear war.

Essex’s invention by Tim Burrose a deliberately written tour of a very misunderstood part of the United Kingdom. Non -fiction books on politics and current cases may remain outdated very quickly, but Broken Heartlands by Sebastian Payne Posted in 2021 remains a very up -to -date reading before the overall elections in 2024, as Laburi seeks to restore the Red Wall, which he lost in 2019 to the Conservative Party.

Finally, I read two books in 2023 that made me feel really angry, but it’s very worth the time. Show me bodies from Peter Apps is a painful story about the failures leading to the Grenfell Tower fire in West London in 2017. A wasteland by Oliver Franklin-Uolis is a behind -the -scenes view of the waste industry and explores the environmental and human cost of what we throw away.
