When talking about Apple, books aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. But they are in the business of books and just released their list of the best books of 2023. Keep reading to find out which books made their list!
The first sentence on the Apple article says “Apple Books is the single destination for all the books.” Just because they say it doesn’t make it true. Still, they have established themselves as reliable when it comes to books.
I enjoy reading most book lists and seeing which books made the list. Apple has data from customers to see what people are reading. If you are an Apple user, you can use see your reading stats using My Year in Review.

That lets you see how stuff like total time spent reading, the longest book or audiobook they read, the series they completed, their most-read author and genre, and their highest-rated book. You can see the full list below!

Well, I won’t be taking any notice of Apple recommendations in future. How can Prince Harry’s ego trip be a “Best book”? It might have sold well but that doesn’t make it anything but mediocre.
