Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
I can't remember a time when books and reading weren't a big part of my life. In my mind's eye I can still clearly see storybooks that were part of our family collection, and trips to the local library every Saturday morning with my dad were highlights of my week. I remember how I nearly burst with pride upon signing and receiving my first library card, and the frustration I felt at being limited to just five books at check-out time. I liked playing "school" with my younger siblings, which mostly involved me sitting in front of my "class" and reading picture books to them. I believe I can claim teaching my younger sister Julie to read before she started school, although I suspect my teaching methods may have been closer to brow-beating than gently guided instruction.

I was inspired by Aoife’s blog post about her 2023 reading year to talk about my own. I am a pretty big reader, and though we are well into January, I never got to talk about all the books I read last year. Though it was not my most prolific reading year, I still relish any opportunity to talk about books.

Another Year of Books and Goodreads
Much like the end of 2022, I was excited to look back at all the books I read in 2023. It’s safe to say I covered some genres I didn’t ever think I would read or entertain, and this was in part thanks to my Goodreads account sharing my friends’ recent reads, inspiring me to consider some of their highly rated picks.
