There are several versions of the My Life in Book Titles tag circulating but I thought I’d stick with the version I’ve been doing for the past five years. I’m using the same prompts, matching them to titles of books I read in 2023 without repeating any titles. Links will take you to my reviews (some are yet to be written!)
In high school I was: To Sir, With Love by E. R Braithwaite
People might be surprised by: How Much of These Hills is Gold by C Pam Zhang
I will never be: Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent
My fantasy Job is: All At Sea by Decca Aitkenhead
At the end of a long day I need: The Fall of Light by Niall Williams
I hate being: (in) The Factory by Hiroko Oyamada
I wish I had: The Heron’s Cry by Ann Cleeves
My family reunions are: Shrines of Gaiety by Kate Atkinson
At a party you’d find me with Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
I’ve never been to The Safe Keep by Yale van Der Wooden
A happy day includes: (Islands of) Abandonment by Cal Flynn

In my next life, I want to have: Happiness by Aminatta Forna
Well this was a little more challenging than last year since the titles of many of the books I read just didn’t match up easily to the prompts. But it was still fun. Why not have a go yourself. If you want a different set of prompts take a look at Cathy’s post at What Cathy Read Next.
