It’s like asking to choose my favorite child, but I think these are my top new* 2023 reads. The weirdest books, the ones that moved me to tears, biggest punches to the gut, those I’m still thinking about months later. *newly-translated or published in the US. One came out in Dec ‘22, but oh well. 💙📚
