The Best Movies Of 2023

The Best Books Of 2023

I read 39 books in 2023, one of which was a short story and one graphic novel. Also, I read all of Berserk (42 volumes), and all the latest chapters of One Piece and One Punch Man, but I decided not to include mangas in my list going forward. That’s why I didn’t include them in my 2023 recap either.

You can see the full list on my Goodreads.

Of these, the top 10 books according to me:

I recently did a post about the top 5 indie books I read in 2023, if you’d like to check it out.

The Best Moment Of 2023

This was the year I achieved my dream of becoming a published author. 18 years of dreaming, 18 years of hard work, all paid off with the release of my debut novel, Help! My Dog Is The Chosen One!

Word Count: ~70,000

Description: 

Kunal is forced to adventure…
Because his dog is the Chosen One! 

Kunal is just your average guy living on rent, working from home, and suffering from anxiety. His world is turned upside down when his girlfriend asks him to foster a rescued a street dog. Despite his qualms, Kunal agrees because, ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’

That’s when the extra-dimensional dark lord attacks.

The dog is the only one who can stop the dark lord, but he can’t do it without Kunal’s help. Can Kunal overcome his many anxieties or will our world suffer for eternity?
