Hello all. I have chosen my picks of the best books of 2023 and here is my reading list for the New Year! Feel free to share this post widely since the books on this list make great holiday gifts! Included are the Booker Award Winner, the Writers Trust Award winner, new fictions from Atwood, Dewitt, Rushdie, Vermette and King. It is going to be a fantastic year of reading- enjoy!!!!
de Witt is a master storyteller evoking great characters that stay with readers long after they finish the last page. this book is for the bookish reader on your list. It is as much about reading as it is anything else.
This is the family epic romance mystery for the reader on your list that wants to be absorbed by drama coloured with intrigue.
This years’s Booker Prize Winner. Irish author. A must read to anyone who reads the latest and greatest!
This NYT best selling author does not disappoint. This National Book Award Winner will hit the best seller lists by Spring!
Anything he writes must be read by a reader of a certain age - namely me- Rushdie is an icon of lit and free speech and this novel explores aging and living vibrantly despite it.
This is Smiths first attempt at period piece AKA Ann Marie MacDonald’s recent Fayne. It is, thankfully, shorter!
This is a must for anyone who has read Vermettes first two novels, The Break, and or The Strangers. The third in the trilogy it stands well on its own and can be read freestanding of the first two. Vermette is a storyteller of our times and as a Métis Canadian writer, a voice that is desperately needed.
This short story collection has all sides of Atwood covered: tongue in cheek, sci fi, reflective of loss and aging, sassy and irreverent. We expect no less from one of the greatest writers of our age.
This Writers Trust Award winner evokes Hill, and Baldwin. We Canadians have our new period piece that fills the world with the story of blackness in Canada with great lyricism and awakening.
Who needs to sleep during the holidays? I need to stay up and fear for my life, Oh wait! It’s just a book right? I forgot… ghosts don’t exist…. Classic King!
