Six in Six, 2023 edition

I first saw this meme at Words and Peace, and thought it's a fun way to recap my first semester reading of this year.

What is Six in Six?
It's an annual meme created and hosted by Jo @ Book Jotter.
As we are halfway through the year, let us share the books we have read in those first 6 months. In fact let’s share 6 books in 6 categories. 

From the list of categories to choose from, I picked these six which accommodate every single the books I have read from January to June, except for three re-reads:

* Sad Cypress (Agatha Christie)
* The Ladies Paradise (Émile Zola)
* N or M? (Agatha Christie)

Now the Six in Six:
