It’s hard to encapsulate a year in books. When looking at 2023, the obvious standouts are a slew of major, much-anticipated celebrity memoirs – Britney Spears, Prince Harry, Barbra Streisand, just to name a few. It appears we have a new buzzy fantasy series in the form of Rebecca Yarros’ The Fourth Wing. But what makes the literary world so exciting and engaging is that there is truly something out there for everyone, you just have to know where to look. Lucky for you, we’ve got some recommendations.

Join Great Pop Culture Debate panelists Bob Erlenback, Jennifer Chen, Kara Austin, and Michael Schwarz as they share their favorite reads of the past year in our Best of 2023 Books special.
