Books Read By Me in 2023 (list started November 2022)

Note: This list got way too unwieldy, so I've moved it into its own page at https://thegirdleofmelian.blogspot.com/p/books-read-by-me-2023.html; for the OFMD stories, I haven't always added notes in parentheses but I love them all! (There are a very few that I skimmed, and I haven't noted those.) Anything with an exclamation point means I loved it, even if I don’t always say so. Also, the ones by Claire Gregory read earlier in 2022 should technically be part of this group)
