My 2023 in Books

My 2023 in Books

From the time I learned to read, books have been my solace, my inspiration, my escape, and my constant companions. I simply love to read, and I love to read a wide range of things. When I retired from teaching in 2017, the thing I was most looking forward to was to have more time to read—and to read more of the books I wanted to read rather than those I needed to read for my work.  I have read more in the past six years, but 2023 is the first year since childhood that I’ve come close to reading to my heart’s content.
