A book recommendation list is an incredibly useful tool to have when navigating the big wide world of reading. When I stopped teaching, I had more time to read for pleasure. I remember walking into the public library and feeling so LOST on what to read. After getting frustrated and exhausted, I decided to research titles to put on my “to be read” list. Here is my official 2023 book recommendation list!

One of my favorite things to do is curl up on my Love Sac with some delicious coffee and a cozy blanket and get lost in a good book!

If you’re a super BUSY person who doesn’t have time to sit down and read a book – you must try Audible! I LOVE sticking my ear pods in while I’m cleaning the house and listening to a great book on audio! Click on the audible ad above to get an Audible membership – it’s worth every penny!

I am putting this book recommendation list in alphabetical order by author. I read across a wide variety of genres and plan on having a recommendation list by genres up soon.
