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.

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
