I've been picking my favourite reads of 2023 for a great new book recommendation site: Shepherd.com You'll find them here. I read a lot of books in any one year - usually on my Kindle, far into the night - so it's always hard for me to choose. There were plenty of contenders, but here are the ones I picked, with great difficulty, I might add!
Also, if you would like to see what other people have recommended on this excellent new site, you'll find lots more 'best books' here.
