The beginning of a new year is often filled with optimism, fresh starts, and a new list of must-read books. 

I love putting together a list of books to read, and below is my list of best-sellers to read during these first few months of 2023.

I finished reading Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins, and loved it. Such a fun, thrilling adventure story. Read it in just a couple of days. I also loved The Silent Patient by Alex Michelins , and It Ends with Us by Coleen Hoover, both hard to put down once I started.

Right now, I am listening to Spare by Prince Harry, and enjoying his tell-all, honest memoir.  I love that the author (Prince Harry) reads it.

I can’t wait to make my way through my list below. I am excited to share it with you as well.
