One year ago today I wrote about 22 Curated Books of 2022 Lists, and last month I added 22 Curated Best Books of the Year Lists for 2022. The race is already on for the best books of 2023, and a great place to start is reading these 23 lists of the best/most anticipated books of the new year.
Good luck to the authors on these lists (and those that did not make the lists) to not only finding devoted readers, but also to joining the coming best of 2023 lists at the end of a fast-moving year that is nearly one month old.
And continued shout-outs to groups of people I mentioned in the best of 2022 lists blog post: publishers, editors, agents, attorneys, accountants, publicists, researchers, cover artists, designers, photographers, librarians, indexers, production specialists, assistants, marketers, sales people, and others who don’t always get the credit they deserve for their work in creating books.
