re: 2023 Reading Challenge

Was shooting for 100 but ended up at 83.

Many thanks to those here for recommendations - I love a good recommendation.

83 is "A Little Hatred" - will finish tomorrow so didn't rank it just yet.

Ranked the rest for anyone who is constantly fishing for books like me.

leaving out the author column because TD doesn't seem to like excel:

A surprise win for me was project hail mary - I am not into space books but damn I couldn't put that one down.

I had never read Sandersen until this year and loved his stuff too.

Really enjoyed Fairy Tale and hadn't read a king book in years. Immediately picked up Holly and it was a steaming pile of turds - couldn't even get into it.

New Outlander book did not disappoint.
