Happy New Year! Today at TTT, bloggers are looking back at the best books read in 2023. I read fewer books in 2023 than in years past, but the ones I read were excellent. I am focusing on quality reading experiences as I balance the real world with the fictional world. 😉 I was surprised that almost all of the books on the list involve dual timelines, although the time periods vary. And all are steeped in history. It just goes to show that the past influences and illuminates the present. Lots of favorite authors too. I hope you find your next favorite book from one on my list.

Great list! “The Vanishing at Castle Moreau” and “The Warsaw Sisters” made it to my top favorites for last year as well- great books!
A Shadow in Moscow is on my TBR stack, and I’m hoping to read it soon. I like Katherine Reay’s writing a lot.
(My TTT is here for this week.)
I’ve seen The Warsaw Sisters around on a lot of blogs! Glad you liked it.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I just got By Way of The Moonlight by Elizabeth Musser! Gabrielle Meyer’s first book will be on my top ten list tomorrow.
I have only read two on your list! I also loved The Songs That Could Have Been and What Happens Next 🙂
These all look they would be great reads. I’m glad you loved them. Happy 2024!
I haven’t read any of these, but I’m glad you loved them! Happy 2024!

Your list is fantastic. I loved so many of these books, too. It was really hard narrowing it down to just ten “best” books this year. Happy New Year!
I love me a dual-timeline novel and I haven’t read any of these, so thanks for the recs! I’ll definitely be taking a closer look at most of these.
Happy TTT!

Great list. I’m seeing What Happens Next everywhere, and I loved it too!
Thanks for the reminder. I have The long March Home on my kindle and I forgot about it.
