Finished one today that was a surprise. The only reason I read this was a friend recommended it. It is the story of an octopus and the workers at the aquarium. It is a novel. I give it 5 stars.

Earlier this year I read Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, and I greatly enjoyed it. The characters have continued to live on in my head and I really liked the story’s setting, the entire read was engaging.

“Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” by Gabrielle Zevin "Demon Copperhead" by Kingsolver And the book I read completely in 2023 (the others were started in 2022) was "Town of Babylon" by Alejandro Varela SO many loved Hey, Beautiful and I feel like I read a completely separate book. haha I'm glad so many liked it though! Tomorrow and Demon are my top two this year. Both outstanding books!

Demon Copperhead by Kingsolver (there is a reason so many of us have put it on our list)
Washington Square by Henry James (a very readable and relatable classic that was new to me)
The Wager by David Grann (a captivating nonfiction book about an 18th century maritime disaster off the coast of Cape Horn).
The Sullivanians: Sex, Psychotherapy, and the Wild Life of an American Commune by Alexander Stille (a nonfiction book about a cult of famous artists, actors, musicians and ordinary people living in a communal setting in New York in the 1940s-1970s).

Tomorrow and Demon are my top two this year. Both outstanding books! Same! And they were my first two reads of 2023, so it’s been all downhill from there. 😄

The Most Fun We Ever Had The Guncle Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow I also loved all three of these. I have the newest book (The Celebrants) by the author of The Guncle waiting for me to pick up at my library and I’m looking forward to it.
