Happy New Year everyone! I wanted to share the Goodreads “My Year in Books” infographic, with some brief reflections to follow. You can see the interactive online infographic here, or read on.
“Congratulations! You’re really good at reading, and probably a lot of other things, too!” I’m starting to think Goodreads is repeating some themes. 2023, though, was a challenging year, and reading played a critical role in helping me heal.
Here is the rest of the infographic. Best wishes in the literary year to come!
I believe in open access scholarship. Because of this, since 2011 I have made A Pilgrim in Narnia free with nearly 1,000 posts on faith, fiction, and fantasy. Please consider sharing my work so others can enjoy it.

About Brenton Dickieson
“A Pilgrim in Narnia” is a blog project in reading and talking about the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Inklings, L.M. Montgomery, and the worlds they created. As a "Faith, Fantasy, and Fiction" blog, we cover topics like children’s literature, myths and mythology, fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, theology, cultural criticism, art and writing.
This blog includes my thoughts as I read through my favourite writings and reflect on my own life and culture. In this sense, I am a Pilgrim in Narnia--or Middle Earth, or Fairyland, or Avonlea. I am often peeking inside of wardrobes, looking for magic bricks in urban alleys, or rooting through yard sale boxes for old rings. If something here captures your imagination, leave a comment, “like” a post, share with your friends, or sign up to receive Narnian Pilgrim posts in your email box.

Amazing! I shall add a few of these to my “want to read” list.
Here’s the books I read in 2023

Hi Yvonne, thanks! I also didn’t write many reviews–at least public ones. I did give feedback on three manuscripts, which takes a long time (and doesn’t show up on lists like these!). I’ll take a look.
Yeah I sometimes add reviewed manuscripts retrospectively when they’re published — if I remember to. I didn’t write nearly as many reviews this year— only ones of books I thought were important.
