While we’re glad to see 2023 go, participants in Cannonball Read 15 were happy to look back over the past year and put together a list of their best and worst reads of 2023 over at Pajiba.com. These are their top three books and one stinker to stay away from. Plus we’ve got links to reviews to further pique your interest.
