Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Favorite Books Of 2023. I read a lot of great books this year so it was tough to narrow it down to only ten. Some of these are 2023 releases and some of them are backlist, but all of them are 5 star reads from me. Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by title:
The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (Amina al-Sirafi #1) by Shannon Chakraborty
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White
The Fragile Threads of Power (Threads of Power #1) by V.E. Schwab
The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher
How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos #1) by Samantha Shannon
The Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
To Shape a Dragon's Breath (Nampeshiweisit #1) by Moniquill Blackgoose
What are some of your favorite reads of 2023? Have you read any of these books? As always, thanks for visiting my blog and perhaps even commenting down below!
The Priory of the Orange Tree has long been on my radar. Now that I know it is a favorite, I should move it up on my list.

My Favs of 2023
I hope you enjoy! Happy New Year!
DeleteI really want to read Starling House, and it helps that it's a standalone (right?). Wish you a very happy reading and blogging year in '24! ~Lex (lexlingua.co)
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a standalone and I hope you enjoy it when you get there! You too, Lex!
DeleteI haven't read any of these but keep hearing people talking about Legends and Lattes. Must investigate!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so nice, Joanne. :)

Awesome!
DeleteOh, some good books on here. I have a few of these on my TBR and hope to get to them in 2024. I read Legends & Lattes this year (or maybe it was last year, I can't remember now) and liked it.
ReplyDeleteHope you can get to them!
DeleteLegends & Lattes, Hacienda and Hollow Places all look excellent to me.
ReplyDeleteLEGENDS AND LATTES really isn't my genre, but I quite enjoyed it! I'm glad you did too and also found so many other great books to love in 2023.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

DeleteLove seeing The Hacienda on your list! I still haven't picked up Vampires of El Norte, but am excited to see what she's done with her sophomore novel. Glad you had such fantastic reads this past year!
ReplyDeleteBoth of them are pretty great, but I'd say The Hacienda still tops my list. Thanks for coming over, Alicia!
DeleteI really need to read Legends & Lattes. I keep hearing how awesome it is. Great list! Happy New Year! :)
ReplyDeleteI read 'Elizabeth Frankenstein' a few years ago, and was entertained by it! Isabel's is also one I've seen on lists, and intrigues me. Glad you enjoyed so many great reads in 2023. Hoping 2024 brings you many more! :) And many thanks for visiting my list on this week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these yet, but Legends and Lattes is on my tbr. I see so much love for that book. Happy reading in 2024!
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing great things about The Hacienda.
ReplyDeleteI also really loved How to Shape a Dragon's Breath and I'm really curious to see how that story will continue.
