Book Report 2023
I love reading. It’s a great way to wind my mind down at the end of the day, feels healthier than scrolling social media when there is down time, and it’s great for personal development! I listen to books, read physical copies and check out Kindle copies from the Dallas Library using the Libby App.
I read 28 books this year and here is the full list with links!
Top Picks:
Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow: Not my typical genre but a friend raved about it. Gave it a shot and LOVED it!
The Perfumist of Paris: This is book three in a series that I adore. The detailed description of the scents in the story line almost makes them feel like another character. It also was the push I needed work with a perfumist to design two scents for my own candles! You can absolutely read them independently of each other though.
In the Garden of Beasts: Historical Fiction of the highest order! Erik Lawson always delivers and this is no exceptions.
Jacqueline in Paris: Fun idea fictionalization of Jacqueline Onasis’ time in Paris.
Geisha, A Life: First hand account of one of the last practicing Geisha’s in Japan. Beyond interesting.
Team of Rivals: Ok so this is a lot of facts and history. I listened to it which helped. BUT its details of American history and the Civil War that I didn’t know.
Counterfeit: Easy Read. Nothing more and nothing less!
Rest of the Reads!
History of Southeast Asia ( No Link… Kinda Obscure!)
Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness
