50 books challenge - 2023 round up

[Tarahumara]

Hello 50 bookers! Here's a separate thread to gather together our top recommendations from the year. Please post your final lists, or just your bolds if you prefer. I'll come back later with mine...

@InTheCludgie You’re making me want to re-read it, but I’m not sure I’m strong enough for the devastating ending.

Your neighbour might enjoy the non-fiction book about Jeremy Button too.

I’m trying to find the title for you.

Here you go. I highly recommend it.

Ps thanks for the round up @RomanMum , not read too many of the more popular ones but I agree with a couple of the stinkers for sure.

@RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie thanks for the recommendation, looks like a good read. I'll let my neighbour know, he's quite keen on factual books so might be right up his street too

Hope he enjoys it!

Very late, name changed and fell off the threads! I managed 37 books in total and kept reading everyone’s reviews. Thank you!
