The Literary Apothecary | Battle of Books - 2023 Edition - Round 1 Part 2 @TheLiteraryApothecary | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
In my attempt to determine what my "top reads of 2023" were, without having to actually choose a top 10, I put all the books I read in 2023 (excluding re-reads, DNFs, and books rated lower than 3 stars) into a sports bracket, and had the books battle amongst themselves for the top spot! In this video, you will see part 2 of round 1 - the second half of most of the books. What choices surprised you? Would you have made any choices different? Let me know in the comments below!
