Book Log Highlights: 2023 Reading Challenges

Each month, we take the ratings you submit on the reading challenge book logs and gather them into highlights of the highest-rated books. It’s always fun to see which books rise to the top, and we always end up bumping books up our own TBR lists after seeing the results. 

The Lifetime of Reading Challenge is self-paced for 2023. Since you can read books for the Lifetime prompts in any order throughout the year, there are no book logs for the Lifetime Challenge this year, and therefore no book log highlights.
