Favorite reviews from first quarter of 2023

I was talking to a few friends the other day. One of the gals was telling another gal about my blog, mainly about my Sunday Salon posts. On these posts I talk about my life in addition to books. The thought entered my head that these friends probably only read that post, not my daily posts or any of my reviews. So, with that thought in my mind here are my twelve favorite reviews from the first quarter of 2023. Click on the hyperlinked book titles to read these reviews.
