The Best Books of 2023 (So Far)

While we enjoyed summer (and all the best beach reads that went with it), we’re now in the midst of an even better time of year for books: fall. There’s no better feeling than getting cozy and curling up with a great book — and 2023 has had plenty of great new releases. While the leaves change color, get lost in a book without ever leaving the comfort of a warm blanket and hot apple cider. Enjoy a strange, funny look at the Victorian era, an immigrant narrative unlike any you’ve read before, an ecological thriller in which a group’s friendship dynamics are tested, or a riveting historical account of danger on the high seas, shipwreck, and murderous betrayal — to name just a few.
