23 Books to Read in 2023

So time to make 2023's list. Again, I didn't read all, or even half, of last year (and I still haven't finished 2020's list) but I soldier on! 

This is my version of These Books Will Self Destruct in 12 months without the self destruct. I wanted to read books that I've had for a while, that I really needed to get read, but maybe I forgot about them or that I had them. So I have 2 lists, one for each way I have them, as physical books, and as ARC's, half NetGalley ARCs, and half Edelweiss ARCs.

So here they are:
