These are some additional books I would have included in this Best Books of 2023 post if I had read them earlier:
The Will of the Many by James Islington (fantasy)
Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy by Faith Erin Hicks (YA romance graphic novel)
A First Time for Everything by Dan Santat (middle grade graphic novel)
Cross My Heart and Never Lie by Nora Dasnes (middle grade graphic novel)
Lion on the Inside: How One Girl Changed Basketball by Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir with Judith Henderson, illustrated by Katherine Ahmed (nonfiction picture book)
Plus one on abandoning books that are just not working for you. Life is too short to slog through!
