I’m a reader. In 2023, I read so many books it’s hard to pick favorites, but I’m going to try.
The number one story that I enjoyed the most is a children’s
literature book called Odder by Katherine Applegate. The story focuses on the
life of Odder the otter and the path he takes. “Inspired by the true story
of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with
surrogate mothers, this poignant and humorous tale told in free verse examines
bravery and healing through the eyes of one of nature’s most beloved and charming
animals.”
I found the story delightful and inspiring. To read my
review, go to: Odder
The adult fiction I enjoyed are part of a series and inspired by the beloved classic,Little Women, a childhood favorite of mine. The Orchard House Bed and Breakfast series by Heidi Chiavaroli focuses on a different family member in each book. They are light romance and quite enjoyable. "Contemporary Romance with a Little Women twist."
I look forward to reading a lot of books in 2024. I started
my first one, Hidden Names by Bettie Boswell. I’ll let you know more
about that later.
What was your favorite book in 2023? Do you have a reading goal for 2024?
