Susan (susanthomas) | 258 comments I'll stick with my usual goal of 75 again for 2023. I started listening to audio books in 2023, which allowed me to break 100 for the first time since tracking my books on Goodreads.

Fewer books were outstanding for me in 2022, but among the fiction books I read, I'd count the following as the best:
Hell of a Book by Jason Mott
White Noise by Don Delillo
Women Talking by Miriam Toews
City on Fire by Don Winslow
Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead
Velvet was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
The Shipping News by Annie Proulx
The Netanyahus by Joshua Cohen
How Beautiful we Were by Imbolo Mbue
The Trees by Percival Everett
The Candy House by Jennifer Egan

Non-Fiction:
Cuba: An American History by Ada Ferrer
How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr
Davos Man by Peter S. Goodman
American Midnight by Adam Hochschild
South to America by Imani Perry

Good luck on your goal!

I'm feeling the same way! Just the thought of sitting down and opening a book (not even specific to the book I was reading; just the overall act of reading) seemed so blah the last couple of weeks.

Maybe just step away from your reading for a while and let your mind refresh and reset.
