Book Talk 2023: A Quiet Year of Reading

Would you believe my reading actually went down last year.  Who knew that was even possible. It seems I do do something beside endlessly reading.  I blame all the jigsaws... and the gardening.

Still 163 reads seems like a decent enough total.  And looking at my stats Chick Lit was the way to go for all my comfort reading.

And the stats were...
 
67   Chick Lit   
26   Audio books 
15   Non fiction 
15   Crime  
11   Thrillers
10   General fiction 
7     YA
7     Contemporary romance
2     Science fiction
1     Graphic novels
1     Children's fiction

 
Comparing 2023 with 2022 Chick Lit went up quite a bit while audio books took a big downward dive and non fiction also hit a slump. I definitely need to try and get both of these genres up this year. 
 
Everything else stayed pretty much the same and on the whole I'm still pretty please that I managed to mix it up genre wise.  If even just a little bit.  I'd like to get my science fiction, graphic novels and children's fiction up but as I'm super fussy it's always hard to find things I like in these genres.  I am however going to make an effort to out books in all the genres I'd like to improve on so recs are always appreciated.

As for favourite reads...
