It was my sixth year doing the challenge and probably my hardest yet. But it&#8217;s done and my 2023 goal is set &#8211; for exactly one more book than last year! Here&#8217;s hoping for a better reading year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not great at picking favorites, especially favorite books. Left to my own devices I&#8217;d probably make a list fifty books long and structured like a senior yearbook superlative list: &#8220;most likely to make you cry and laugh on the same page&#8221;, &#8220;most likely to make you terrified of rabbits&#8221;, etc. Since I&#8217;d rather just spend that time reading, I&#8217;m reusing my answers from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pajiba.com\/book_reviews\/the-best-and-worst-books-of-cannonball-read-14.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cannonball&#8217;s Best\/Worst of the 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Eclipse the Moon<\/em> by Jessie Mihalik<\/strong> &#8211; Take a sci-fi romance from one of my favorite authors and add in a neurodivergent heroine, a caretaker hero, running from danger on a space station, all the found family feels and lots of cookies.<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.llamareadsbooks.com\/blog\/index.php\/2022\/07\/13\/review-what-moves-the-dead-t-kingfisher\/\"><strong><em>What Moves the Dead<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong> by T.
