Jan 30, 2024

This week I’m sharing some of the new-t0-me authors I discovered in 2023, and loved. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

I discovered a lot of new authors that I hadn’t read before last year. There were some I found and would probably never read, but there are also some that I immediately read more books and will be reading more as they bring out more. So today I am sharing some of the books that I read for the first time last year and loved.

So let’s get right into it. These are the new-to-me authors I read in 2023, and are jumping on my tbr for this year. And as always these are in no real order.

Grace McGinty – Sports Romance, Omegaverse, Why Choose, Paranormal. | J. Bree – Fantasy, Paranormal, Why Choose, Dark Romance. | Elsie Silver – Contemporary Romance, Sports Romance, Small Town. | Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue – Dark Romance, Why Choose, College.

Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2024

Jan 9, 2024

This week I’m sharing my most anticipated books releasing in the first half of 2024. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

Okay, we could be here a lot of time if I shared all the books I’m excited to read for the first half of this year. I really struggled with this post, because I could put all the books I’ve added to my tbr at the moment on here. But I had to be strong. Recently I shared the sequels I’m excited for in 2024, so I tried not to share too much of those on this list. But we have a few double-ups.

I had a pretty good reading year in 2023. And I’m hoping that I can do the same in 2024. I want to try some new authors, start new series and read as many new releases as I can. So let’s get into it. These are some of my most anticipated releases for the first half of 2024. Like always these are in no order.

Only and Forever (Bergman Brothers, #7) by Chloe Liese – April. | The Dixon Rule (Campus Diaries, #2) by Elle Kennedy – May. | Play Along (Windy City, #4) by Liz Tomforde – June. | The Home Wrecker (The Goode Brothers, #2) by Sara Cate – March.

Bride by Ali Hazelwood – February. | A Tempest of Tea (Blood and Tea, #1) by Hafsah Faizal – February. | When the Moon Hatched (Moonfall, #1) by Sarah A. Parker – January. | A Fate Inked in Blood (Saga of the Unfated, #1) by Danielle L. Jensen – February.

Swift and Saddled (Rebel Blue Ranch, #2) by Lyla Sage – March. | Wild Love (Rose Hill, #1) by Elsie Silver – April

And there we go. There are so many more books I could have added to this list. But honestly sometimes releases pop up and I’m reading a new book from an author that I love.

Have you read any of these books yet? Have you read anything from these authors? What books are you excited about in 2024? So, let’s chat!

My Favorite Books of 2023

Jan 2, 2024

This week I’m sharing some of my favourite reads of 2023 Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

So this isn’t a fun post to make, I hate making these hard decisions. Especially in regards to picking my favourite reads of the year. I had a fantastic reading year in 2023 and read over 200 books, so I have so many to choose from.

I mean there were some ugly reads, there were some standouts and there were some that I may never think of again. So I had to really think a lot for this post. And I may come back in 6 months and think differently.

But enough of this chit-chat, here are some of the best books I read in 2023. Nearly all of these are romances, honestly, all of these are romances. Because that is all I read in 2023, and I loved it. But there is a range of romances here. I do want to make a quick note that the books on this list are my favourites. This is what I thought of them and they may not be for you. But I liked them a lot.

So without further ado, here are some of my favourite books for 2023. And as always these are in no real order. If I also loved a whole series and read it in 2023, I included it as one. Let’s go!

The Bonds That Tie Series by J. Bree. | Final Offer (Dreamland Billionaires, #3) by Lauren Asher. | Heartless (Chestnut Springs, #2) by Elsie Silver | The Royals of Forsyth University #4-#6 by Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue.

The Empyrean Series #1-#2 by Rebecca Yarros. | Wildfire (Maple Hills, #2) by Hannah Grace. | Fate of a Royal (Lords of Rathe, #1) by Meagan Brandy and Amo Jones. | The Crown of Oaths and Curses (The Mortal Fates, #1) by J. Bree.

Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young. | Brayshaw High Series by Meagan Brandy. | Caution to the Wind (The Fallen Men, #7) by Giana Darling | Caught Up (Windy City, #3) by Liz Tomforde.

There are so many more books and series that I could have added to this list, but I already went over the 10. But those are some of my favourite reads of 2023. Have you read any of these books? What did you think? What books made it to your list this year? Let’s chat!
