Atmospheric, historical fiction, mystery, fortune telling. I‘m still thinking about this one!
And it‘s a wrap! Looking forward to some more great reading in 2024
Oops. I forgot to post my #12booksof2023 selection for December. This was a fun book, and we had a good discussion at book club. I can‘t really say more, because the reason I liked it is a spoiler. 😎
Honorable mention to The General and Julia, which was published in November. It was the newest book I read in 2023, and The Mystery of the Old Clock (1930) was the oldest.
With this I think I‘ve sufficiently recapped 2023. On to 2024! #wrapup
I‘ve been wanting to read Audre Lorde for a long time and now I‘ll definitely be reading more by her.
✅ memoir
✅ coming of age
✅ lgbtq author
✅ Black author

Agatha Christie: An Elusive Woman
The title says it all.

This book had a lot to live up to, because I love the movie with Paul Newman. We watch it every year sometime on or after Thanksgiving. Thankfully I loved it. It added depth to the characters in the movie and introduces more that are not in the movie. This is also a husband pick as he read it first. He is currently reading the second book and third one arrived today.
pickI had a really strong December and I‘m going with a 3-way tie between Helmet For My Pillow (WWII memoir), All the Sinners Bleed, and Hello Beautiful to round out my #12Booksof2023.
#12BooksOf2023 My last five star read of the year.
Little late with my December pick, but it was my winter games team buddy read The Snow Child!

This was a re-read for me, but slowly savoring it this between Christmas and New Year‘s was the perfect ending to my reading year. #12booksof2023
Thanks for hosting one of my favorite reading events of the year @Andrew65
