2023 Reads

I thankful for another year of reading! My reading included re-reads, family read-alouds, and some audio books.

I especially enjoyed reading the George MacDonald books and Wingfeather Series to the kids, and loved listening myself to LOTR read by Andy Serkis.

Which books did you enjoy the most in 2023? What are you looking forward to reading in 2024?
