2023: What I Read

It’s no secret that I love to read (and listen to an audiobook). I’m often listening to one book, while reading one or two more. Last year, I challenged myself to read or listen to 75 (!!!) books for the calendar year. I surpassed it with 100 books somehow?!

For this year, I gave myself the goal of 90 books. It seemed almost daunting to make a goal of ONE HUNDRED BOOKS READ. Even though I did it last year, I think I prefer to surpass a goal as opposed to just meeting it. As of today, I’ve read 12 this year, so I am a little ahead of schedule. Hoping I knock off a few on my to-be-read list this week while in Hawaii!

I love nothing more than pouring an Aperol Spritz (my signature drink), at home or on vacation, and sitting down with a good book. There’s something so refreshing about a happy hour cocktail & a book.

Rounding up a list of my favorite books I read last year, and whether I read or listened to them! Anyone else love to see what people are reading?!
