2023 50 Book Challenge

That is an excellent book.

Yes it is. Crazy thing is I could never get past the first few pages for some reason. I've had it on my side table for literally years. It's been on planes and road trips where I would read a few pages or it would never even make it out of my bag. Being between books when the library was closed, I decided to read it. I'm glad it did even though it hit a little too close to home at times.

21. On Such a Full Sea, Chang-Rae Lee.

22. The History of Love, Nicole Krauss

Last one.

23. The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, Haruki Murakami.
Technically, I'm not quite finished but should be done today, maybe tomorrow but I'm still counting it.

I didn't participate this year, because I didn't manage to hit 50 in 2022 and I decided to take the pressure off myself. However, I did decide to track what I read, since I liked having a record. As it turns out, taking the pressure off myself meant that instead of reading 48 books like I did in 2022, I only read 45.

Of those 45, I think my favorite was the Jade Saga, a trilogy by Fonda Lee that is a mix of The Godfather, 70s Kung Fu movies, and magic. It sounds kinda crazy, and it is, but it works well. There were rumors that it was being developed for TV, and I think it could be really good in that format, but no telling if that will ever happen.

I ended the year with around forty books read even though I stopped recording the titles early in the year.

1. Unraveled: A Climber’s Journey Through Darkness and Back, by Katie Brown

Katie Brown was one of the best climbers of the mid to late 90s (second woman to climb 5.14a, national champion, World Cup winner, etc.), before she disappeared from the scene.

This book details her struggles with anorexia, suicidal thoughts and depression, and a tortured relationship with her mom during that time. Good book! It's truly inspiring to see so many avid readers sharing their experiences and recommendations. This helps me prepare for my homework. If anyone is interested, I recently came across an amazing website that provides help with nursing school papers where you can find great resources for both medical students and professionals. This has been a game changer for me, especially for research papers and tutorials. Happy reading and keep getting book recommendations!

Good book!
