BestBooks: 2023

On the one hand, this was way too didactic to work as a novel. On the other hand, it was kind of fascinating to compare his timeline with what has actually happened.

Cheesy, but I liked it.

This was super clever.

Really good, and I particularly liked the ending.

I loved this, and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

This was fantastic. I can't say too much without spoiling the twists, but let me say that it was extremely clever.

I believe this is my first Nora Roberts book -- I was underwhelmed. Sometimes, it is difficult to tell if the problem is a narrator who is just not sticking the landing or if the problem is the text itself.

One of my favorite books of the year -- so, so funny.

I thought this was really well done.

Started very strong and then just kind of withered.

This book was fantastic -- I hope the series continues.

I loved this -- perfect blend of cynicism and optimism.

I don't usually do podcasts, but this was gripping.

I really enjoyed this. It took on a relatively unusual topic and setting, It's one of those books that feels well worth the read, but also that it isn't obvious how/why that is the case.
