Book Review: H1 2023

1 July 2023

Wow! I can't believe the first half of 2023 is gone. I have decided to categorise and rate the books I have read in the first half of 2023. In retrospect, I should have done a short review after reading each book but let's assume I was enjoying the thrill of moving from one book to next rather than blame it on procrastination.


I hope one of these make it to your reading list.


Note: I employed a five-star rating scale, where 'half-star (✬)' represents the lowest rating and 'five-star (★★★★★)' represents the highest rating.


Laughed out Loud 😅


Emotional rollercoaster 🥲


Couldn’t put it down (from the onset) 🤫


The suspense... 😱


Didn’t see that coming 😮


Not my cup of tea / genre 🙄


Changed my perspective 🤔


Insightful 💡


Writing style / book structure 🙌🏽
