Books I Meant to Read in 2023 But Didn’t Get To

Books I Meant to Read in 2023 But Didn’t Get To

January 23, 2024 Posted by angelreads Uncategorized 6 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books I meant to read in 2023 but didn’t get to. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

There are so many books to read, and my TBR is ever-growing. So for today’s Top Ten Tuesday I’m sharing the books I was meant to read in 2023 but just didn’t get to. While I read over 200 books in 2023, I still didn’t have the time to read so many books that I had been looking forward to. From new releases to books that had just caught my eye, there is a mix here. I have no real explanation, but as a mood reader, I just didn’t feel like picking these up. 

So let’s get into it. Here are the books that I was meant to read in 2023, but just didn’t get the chance. As always these are in no real order. 

Haunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #1) by H.D. Carlton. | The Serpent and the Wings of Night. (Crowns of Nyaxia, #1) by Carissa Broadbent. | Tempting Little Thief (Girls of Greyson, #1) by Meagan Brandy. | Beautiful Things (Second Sons, #1) by Emily Rath. 

Forget Me Not by Julie Soto. | If Only You (The Bergman Brothers #6). by Chloe Liese. | Done and Dusted. (Rebel Blue Ranch, #1) by Lyla Sage. | Heartstopper: Volume Five (Heartstopper. #5) by Alice Oseman.

The Pucking Wrong Number (Pucking Wrong, #1) by C.R. Jane. | Butcher & Blackbird (The Ruinous Love Trilogy, #1) by Brynne Weaver.

And there we go, those are just some of the books that I didn’t get to in 2023 but meant to. However, I do hope that I can get to some of them this year. I know there are a few that are on the top of my list for sure. Have you read any of these? What did you think? Are you planning on reading them? What books made it to your list? And so, let’s chat!

    I loved If Only You. I hope you get to that one soon. Carlton’s book is so dark, it’s one you have to be in the right mood for. I hope you get to enjoy all of these this year.

    I was so surprised that I could get my hands on Heartstopper, volume 5, before the end of 2023, as I was borrowing it from the library. I hope you can read these books in 2024 and that they are all you hoped they would be.

I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’ I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’t know what to expect, but at the same time it was exactly what I wanted.

Driven is an entertaining, suspenseful new adult romance debut that has a second chance romance, is brothers best friend and has fast cars. 

It’s one of those books that is perfect for those looking for something that they won’t want to put down, leave them second guessing and wanting more. 

It’s full of second changes, finding yourself and falling for the one person that is forbidden. 

This is all such a great debut novel that makes me want to read more from Emma J Warrender.

Honestly I haven’t been a lot this year at all, es Honestly I haven’t been a lot this year at all, especially compared to what I normally read. Because you know life but I wanted to share some of my latest reads.
