33 Books I Want To Read in 2023

There is no particular reason I want to read these books. Some I found listed in very old notes in my phone. Some I saw on BookTok. And others, I simply stole from random people telling me they were good.

My goal for 2023 is to ready 23 books (get it?). However, I’ve made a list of 33 to see if I can really outdo myself.

I’ve been into thrillers lately, but also beach-read-rom-coms and a few books that just make me think about purpose and passion. I may read tons of books that are completely not on this list. Who knows! I’m easily swayed so truly, if you have any favorite book recommendations send them my way!

So, without further ado, here is the list! I am too lazy to link all of them so just look them up yourself:)

Oh, and if you are curious what my all-time favorite book is that I would tell anyone to read, any season of the year, it is Tattoos on the Heart by Gregory Boyle.
