Favorite Books of 2023

Although it is a few months into 2024, I am finally getting around to listing my favorite books from 2023. I was in a huge reading slump in the first half of the year. I got back into reading during the summer. With that said, I have noticed a trend, I hit reading slumps in the winter, during school - usually when seasonal depression would hit someone.

In the second half of 2023, I read 54 books (I think this is a personal best). Now, while I am writing this I am thinking, maybe I won't just do my favorite books? Maybe any new authors I have discovered that I love? Or even series?

SERIES:

• The Don't Let Me Series by Kelsie Rae:

  • Don't Let Me Fall

  • Don't Let Me Go

  • Don't Let Me Break

  • Don't Let Me Down

    • This series is the series that pulled me out of my reading slump. I saw multiple videos about them on TikTok for months before I finally caved and bought the first book. After that I fell back into my reading frenzy.

• Playing For Keeps Series by Becka Mack:

  • Consider Me

  • Play With Me

  • Unravel Me

• Sweater Weather Series by a collective of authors:

  • Just Don't Fall by Emma St. Clair

  • The Fall Back Plan by Melanie Jacobson

  • Can't Help Falling by Courtney Walsh

    • I have not finished this series yet, there are seven books in total, but I highly recommend it.

BOOKS:

• Tempt Our Fate by Kat Singleton

• Rewrite Our Story by Kat Singleton

• Brooklyn Cupid by Lexi Ray

• Assistant To The Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer

• Behind the Net by Stephanie Archer

AUTHORS:

• Lucy Score

• Kristen Granata

• Becka Mack

Every time I finished a book I would note the common trope or genre it fell under. Here were a few of my favorite genres and tropes.

• Romance

• Sports Romance

• Grumpy/Sunshine

• Enemy to Lovers

• Small-town Romance

• Western Romance

• and you can not forget, one of my favorite features in books, Dual POVs.

It was hard for me to compile this list. I loved every book I read in 2023, so picking out these few books was a struggle.
