Many people know who Esquire is and that is no surprise. This year, they launched their 90^th anniversary issue to celebrate 90 years. And today, we will be looking at Esquire’s best books of 2023!

I have always loved browsing through Esquire’s lists because you can tell they love books. Their list this year is great and I enjoyed seeing familiar names as well as names that aren’t on other end of year books. From established authors to debut novels, this list has it all.

Their list includes a variety of books ranging from fiction to memoirs. So, no matter what books you like, there is something here for everyone. I know I will be coming back to this list from time to time. You can see the full list below!
