Hello, book lovelies!
It seems like a missed opportunity if I don't take today's newsletter to talk about things I love most in books. I have been thinking about this over the past few weeks, as I have been trying to hone in on my 2023 reads. If a book includes at least one of these things done well, then it's almost guaranteed a five-star read from me.
