You're not supposed to let the perfect be the enemy of the good (or the good enough) so I'm sharing this year's Reading Highlights without much commentary. I've provided mini-reviews of most of these books on Instagram -- I'm @booksandcarbs there. If you have questions about any titles, feel free to leave a comment or email me at booksandcarbs@gmail.com. The books below are 2023 releases, except where noted. The books below haven't been ranked and also aren't in alphabetical order. Again, not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good (enough).
