We featured nine amazing books by College faculty and alumni across different disciplines in 2023. “Bookmark This” is a feature that highlights these books; a Q&A with the author(s) is published on the first week of each month. Enjoy this wrap-up, where we collected all of the “Bookmark This” interviews from the past year. Add some of these books to your new year reading list. We look forward to showcasing more great books in 2024!
