Getting a late start

I know that the first quarter of the year 2023 has already passed, but I keep track of the books I read each year with a "tag" of "read 2023" so it is easy for me to begin listing them here now. Hope that is OK with the group. If so I will start listing them tomorrow. I also have a tag for plan 2023 but I always plan more than I read. :-)
