Apple Books Unveils Top Books and Audiobooks of 2023, Year in Review Experience
Apple has recently announced the release of its top books and audiobooks of 2023, along with a new Year in Review feature on its Apple Books app. This exciting update allows users to explore personalized insights about the books they enjoyed throughout the year.
Apple Books is a versatile platform that offers a range of features to enhance the reading experience. Users can set reading goals, organize their books into collections, share their purchases through Family Sharing, and receive personalized recommendations for new titles.
The Year in Review experience provides users with a comprehensive overview of their reading habits in 2023. With just a few taps, they can discover interesting facts like their total reading time, the longest book or audiobook they read, completed book series, most-read author and genre, and even their highest-rated book.
To access the Year in Review feature, users simply need to navigate to the Read Now tab under Top Picks on their iPhone or iPad. However, they must have at least three finished titles marked in the app to utilize this exciting feature.
Additionally, Year in Review determines a user’s reading type based on anonymized reader insights. It offers six reader types for users to explore and discover more about their reading preferences.
In addition to the Year in Review feature, Apple Books has also published the “Best of 2023” collection. Curated by editors, this collection includes standout books and audiobooks spanning various genres, as well as the most popular titles of the year.
Among the top-ranking titles in many countries are celebrity memoirs, such as Prince Harry’s “Spare” and Britney Spears’s “The Woman in Me,” narrated by Michelle Williams. For fans of romance and fantasy, “Fourth Wing” by Rebecca Yarros became a must-read during the spring and summer.
Year in Review is available for free to Apple Books users in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the U.K., and the U.S. Users in these countries can now dive into a personalized summary of their reading journey in 2023.
