Markd9528's Main Book Pool for 2023 (Includes Bonus Aussie Books!)

I am aiming to finish at least 50% of these books in 2023. The list itself is just a distillation of my short and long-term TBRs, my genre challenges, unread books in my Kindle library, recommendations from our colleagues or podcasts or friends etc. etc. It will also help me finish off some of my favourite series and lists (or finish me off instead).
NOTE: It should come as no surprise that regular users of my challenges might well have seen many of these books previously.
