We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2023.
I’m putting a little twist on today’s prompt for most anticipated books and I’m focusing specifically on 10 releases that I’ve been lucky enough to get ARCs for and that I can’t wait to read ASAP (and will actually be reading soon, lol). I decided to focus specifically on existing ARCs cos I also created a reel (that’s also going up later!) based on this topic today and I thought what perfect timing. 😍
One of these books has actually been released today and my review is coming out later, but the other releases span from Jan – Feb – April – May. These are listed in order of release date.
A Long Time Coming by Meghan Quinn
Seven Percent of Ro Devereux by Ellen O’Clover
Spice Road by Maiya Ibrahim
Reggie and Delilah’s Year of Falling by Elise Bryant
Seven Faceless Saints by M.K. Lobb
Juniper Harvey and the Vanishing Kingdom by Nina Varela
Tim Te Maro and the Subterranean Heartsick Blues by H.S. Valley
Silver in the Bone by Alexandra Bracken
Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee
Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee
What new releases are you looking forward to in the first half of 2023? Are any of these also on your TBR? I’d love to hear what books you’re excited about! 😍
Good for you, Dini! I hope you love all of them.

Lol, Quinn churns out books like nobody’s business. And these are separate from her trad pub books, which are fewer in number, but well, if you love her writing then at least you know it’ll be a while before you run out of material to read! 😂
