2023 Top 100: The Better Reading Team Pick Their Favourite Books

We know our readers love the annual release of the Top 100, but we here in the Better Reading office also get excited. The release of the Top 100 is one of our favourite times of the year. We love poring over the list, picking out our favourites, and counting how many books we’ve read.

Here, each of the Better Reading team members shares their all-time favourite books from the 2023 Top 100 list. Have you read any of these books? And don’t forget to read the full Top 100 list here…

Cheryl – Director

Asking me to choose a favourite book from the Top 100 is like asking me to choose a favourite person in my life – an impossible task. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee came in at number #4 on the list, and is my all-time favourite book, so that’s wonderful. Another standout for me is Honeybee by Craig Silvey. I was so thrilled to see it make it to the #1 spot last year, and couldn’t be happier to see it there again.

Jane – Head of Marketing

So hard to choose a favourite. I adore The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart by Holly Ringland. It’s a brilliant novel – Holly pours the very essence of herself into every page. I’m also a big fan of The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill. Plus The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams. I could keep going… so many of my favourites made the list.

Natalie – Campaign Manager

This is actually an easy one for me. The Handmaid’s Tale is one of my all-time favourite novels. It’s a stunning, provocative read that’s still incredibly relevant today. I’m also a huge fan of the classics, so I’m thrilled to see Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre on the list againWhere the Crawdads Sing was powerfully vivid and stayed with me long after finishing it.

Sophie – Marketing Coordinator

I loved reading Tracey Lien’s All That’s Left Unsaid, a profound and moving page-turner, and one of my favourite reads of the year. Another favourite is All the Light We Cannot See. I have loved historical fiction from a young age, and Anthony Doerr’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book has to be one of the best WWII novels I’ve ever read.

Dexx – Marketing Coordinator

I was so glad when I saw The Night Circus on the 2023 Top 100. It’s an absolute favourite of mine, and it’s always the book I recommend to people who don’t read much. The Secret History by Donna Tart has fast become one of my all-time favourite novels. I also think I’m the last person on Earth to read Boy Swallows Universebut it absolutely blew me away.
