One of the biggest book lists has officially hit the internet. NPR has released its list of the best books of 2023. Keep reading to find out which books made their list!
The most extensive list of the best books of 2023 belongs to NPR by a long shot. Their list has 380 books which is insane considering most people don’t read that many books in their lives.

For popular books and books that didn’t get the attention they deserved, NPR is the place to go. This year is going to go down as one of the better years for new releases. It will take many years to fully grasp the books released this year.
I know I will be returning to this list by NPR often. They are who I turn to and their layout is gorgeous and easy to navigate. You can see some of the books below!
