On November 16th I posted what I thought was a final list of the Booklist Queen’s Best of 2023 choices. I also expressed some disappointment that the lists weren’t as comprehensive as in years past. Well, I may have jumped the gun a bit. Rachel has recently come out with more satisfactory lists and here they are (an asterisk signifies the title was on the original list):
