Did you miss something in 2023?
There were many books published in 2023 that are certainly worth reading but that we didn’t have time for. Of course we don’t have time to read all the good books. My friend Rebecca Peace has an Instagram spot called beckyonbooks. She lives in Saint Simons Island, Georgia. In her most recent post she says “If you have not read these books, don’t delay. Each one is special. Each is unique. Each is memorable. And each one is a true pleasure to read. What more can I say?” So, here they are…..
