My February 2023 in Books

Favorite Authors

Who is your favorite author and why? I haven’t really read one author exclusively for a long time. I suppose my favorite author would be Phillipa Gregory as I’ve read a lot of her books and will pretty much buy any of her books if I see one I don’t own yet. She’s a historian …

10 of my Favorite Books of 2022

I read a lot of books this year, which is surprising to me as I feel like every year my struggle to read is worse than the year before. This year I read 65 books. I was pleasantly surprised, especially when we went on vacation for two weeks. A lot of the books were okay, …
