Top 10 Books of 2023

Only the volumes that have been read and reviewed, and posted will be listed. If a book is read from the series, and the series is listed in Honorable Mentions, it will be moved back to this list, and the same offers apply. If I haven't read all the books in the series, I would love to do so. If you don't know which ones I read and which ones I haven't, just ask. I keep records of all books I read and reviewed.
