Best Books I’ve Read So Far This Year (2023)

[@last_flower.]

I love how you show just four books, no crazy reading lists, just realistic reading experience. Also spending a month reading a big book sounds so like me. Love your relatable content

I read The Goldfinch a couple of years ago, and loved it. The best book I've read this year is easily Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver.

I’ve just retired this past summer and have some reading to catch up on! I’m just now reading The Secret History and love Donna Tartt’s writing. I look forward to The Goldfinch in the near future. Birnam Wood sounds great! Thanks for the recommendations.

just bought the goldfinch!!! excited to read it

[@rubywinkel9821]

My favorite read of the year is also The Goldfinch. Absolutely what a masterpiece. But I also adored The Chosen and The Promise by Chaim Potok. The story and the characters stayed with me and I couldn’t put it down either.

I’m reading The Goldfinch right now. It’ll probably be between The Goldfinch and Demon Copperhead for my favorite of the year.

[@williampdozier]

Demon Copperhead is great too

Thank you, I wan't sure whether I should read The Goldfinch, as I had heard mixed opinions. But I've now decided to just read it and decide for myself 😊

I love how little the list is yet so ful. Just focusing about these books and giving it all the love, that's amazing Keep it going ❤ All the love and support

[@houndsanddirewolves]

I’m going to have to read The Goldfinch. The Secret History was one of those books that was so amazing and I LOVED, while also hating everything about it. It was such a unique and wonderful experience.

I just bought "The Goldfinch" and I am currently reading "Dune" by Frank Herbert. It is more interesting than I thought. I recommend it so far. 😁

[@aliegan2109]

I loved The Secret History so I will definitely read the Goldfinch.

[@miumiuitgirl183]

well, I'm not sure if you arrived at it independently but this is the second time I've seen someone reading shakesperare chronologically. the first is Benjamin McEvoy, he has a KZbin channel too I'm not sure if you know but he inspired me to do this and then seeing you do it gave me even more motivation.

[@anitas5817]

Yes he has a great channel! I’m collecting a few adult literary KZbin channels, that don’t focus solely on YA. Enjoying this channel too.

[@Gaverny]

Great stuff. Thank you.

[@playermartin286]

Speaking of memoirs “the world of yesterday” by Stefan Zweig is excellent

[@Maryjane022]

Lovely books 📚📚

[@jacobp6512]

Read the life and narrative of Frederick Douglass if your up for a challenge. Walden and civil disobedience by Henry David Thoreau. Long walk to freedom by Nelson Mandela also.

[@denalygotti5349]

Have you read The Little Life?

[@williampdozier]

Nope
