Favorite Books of 2023

I read 15 books in 2023, which is the lowest number since I started keeping track in 2010. A few factors contributed to this, including having a second baby in May and opting more often to watch movies in my free time.

So it goes. I’ll get back on the reading train in 2024. Until then, here are the books I did manage to read and enjoy last year.

  • Blankets by Craig Thompson
  • The Art and Science of Arrival by Tanya Lapointe
  • Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies by Matt Singer
  • MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios by Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, Gavin Edwards (including an interview with the authors)
  • The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder by David Grann
  • The President Is A Sick Man by Matthew Algeo
  • The Church of Baseball: The Making of Bull Durham by Ron Shelton (including an interview with Shelton)
  • Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands by Kate Beaton
  • Oscar Wars: A History of Hollywood in Gold, Sweat, and Tears by Michael Schulman (including an interview with Michael)
  • Priestdaddy: A Memoir by Patricia Lockwood
