2023 Reading List

My goal this year is to allow myself to reread as many books as I’d like, interspersed with ones I haven’t read that are part of a series I’m into, or that others have recommended. I thought I’d approach the rereading in a sort of chronological order but that felt like an assignment versus reading for pleasure, so that’s been scrapped. Books that I’ve read before are marked with an *.
