It seems that, overnight, everyone on the internet has become a reader. The irony of this is not lost on me -- something I was teased mercilessly about as a child has now become something "aesthetic" that others strive for. I have tried over and over - since 2017 - to create and stick with a bookstagram, but the pressure of it all feels a bit too daunting for me. But the beauty of a booming book platform is that I am exposed to so, so many more books than I would if I stayed in my own little bubble. Thus, 2023 in books.
