The Best Books of 2023, According to Glamour Staff

glamour.com:

of 2023, encompassing the fiction and nonfiction reads that have been determined to rise above all others this year. But what does that mean, exactly?In actuality, what makes a book one of the year's best is entirely subjective, and that's what makes reading so fun.

Every reader has a different framework for determining what makes a book one of their favorites, and what doesn't (just check out Goodreads if you need proof).

Some like thrillers, some like romance, some like fantasy, and many, many more like that blend of romance and fantasy that is so popular right now on Even cookbooks, art books, and craft books can be included in the best books of 2023, if that's what you're into.So instead of decreeing a “best” list based on one person's opinion, we at Glamour decided to work together.

We asked our staff to each send in their personal favorite book of the year of any genre. What followed was a rich mix of books from subject to type, and we are sure every reader will find something to enjoy, no matter their preference.All products featured on Glamour are independently selected by our editors.
