2023 Books Read & Counting Challenges Page
Dates: Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2023

This page will track all books read throughout the year.  It will be the tracking page for all challenges that are a "How Many Can You Read" type challenge.  A list of challenges that are covered by this page are noted at the bottom.

"Cozy Mysteries" are marked with a 🔎.

Fairytale/fairytale retelling or Disney is marked with 👸

If the book is recommended by a friend, family member, Librarian, or someone on social media site, then it will be 
marked with a 👥, and a book recommended or used by someone else for any challenge will be marked with a 👪

New (to me) author will be marked with a 🆕

All books on this list are Audiobooks.  Reading a book/ebook will be marked with a 📕, and if reading the book along with the audiobook, it will be marked with 📕🎧

Anything NOT mystery/thriller/suspense/crime/etc. or a fairytale retelling, it is noted with a 😢because I'm only reading it to fill a prompt on a challenge.
