Books of 2023

I began 2023 intending to read more books. Tick off the books that have long been in my TBR(To Be Read list) and make way for more. One book a month seemed like an achievable target, and at the end of the year, I surprised myself. I read 14 books, 6 in Malayalam and 8 in English. One of them was a re-read, and one of them was a translation. I did start reading some more books that I couldn't finish but intend to finish in 2024. But there were a couple of books that I started reading and left unread. They are not mentioned in this list, but I might update it here later. Now, these are not reviews. It's just a list with pictures of the book and some parts I found interesting. Would anyone be interested in detailed reviews? If so, please let me know.

Happy scrolling through some book photos:)
