New Favorites (Books Read in 2023)

a song for Arbon is one of the best books that I've read in 2023 and honestly I haven't done my top 10 books list of all time but this is on the short list for sure

Babel as well I really like that one I gave a dual review of that book and I think I gave it a four or a four and a half star

this may be one of the best Memoirs that I've ever read so pick up born a crime by Trevor Noah

boys like life is one of the best Coming of Age tales that I've read additionally there is a great element of magical realism

the Fairman by Justin Cronin maybe not the best entry point for him but it's certainly a new favorite of mine

forever piece I think is kind of the spiritual successor to Forever War where thematically there's a really great idea in there whether or not because reception is mixed that you feel Hal him and pulled off that theme that he was discussing is up to you but I think he really did and I really enjoyed these three books

forever free is the sequel and although it's probably the least of the three it is a direct sequel I feel that unfortunately it was kind of a book in search of an ending cuz the third the last third of the book went a very different direction

this is a book that I really enjoyed listening to and I'll definitely listen to this one again because it was so good

the first book Is frankly a literary Masterpiece even if you don't want to read these four books I recommend everybody to read Hyperion

legend by David gel is the work of heroic fantasy that I didn't realize I needed in my life it's sometimes cheesy it's sometimes maybe a little predictable but it is so cinematic in scope

this book is magnificent and I think it holds Universal appeal because it has such a great cast of characters

I was shocked at the end how connected with this character that I felt this is a work of literary fiction and I think is a work that given all the love that you see on book it's totally worth it

swan song is a tour to force by a fantastic author who I will read a lot more in the future

A lot of people love this book consider it one of the finest works of military science fiction that you'll read and it did not disappoint

this was a fantastic short Story collection I highly recommend the paper managerie and Other Stories by kenlou

poppy war is not the place to start that is a very divisive series I was kind of in the middle I liked it I didn't love it but I didn't hate it either a lot of people hated that series

the Lions of a ran is easily one of the best books that I read this year

yellow face is her best book so it's definitely a new favorite of mine
