It's a new year, and that means for all of us 12 months of new books to look forward to! I have been prowling through list after list to see what is coming out in the next few months and have compiled my own list of a few books I am wanting to add to my shelf...
SPARE BY PRINCE HARRY
Hardcover, 416 pages
Expected publication: January 10th 2023 by Random House
THIS IS THE BOOK I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. Im a staunch royalist, so you can imagine my opinion on him and his wife. In the beginning I was so excited about them, how they would be such an assest to the Royal Family...now I think they need to shut up.
Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.
GLITTERLAND BY ALEXIS HALL
Paperback
Expected publication: January 17th 2023 by Sourcebooks Casablanca
I loved both of the Boyfriend Material books and am anxious to read this one. It is a reprint of an older book of theirs but all the reviews look great...and it sounds fantastic
Once the golden boy of the English literary scene, now a clinically depressed writer of pulp crime fiction, Ash Winters has given up on hope, happiness, and―most of all―himself. He lives his life between the cycles of his illness, haunted by the ghosts of other people's expectations.
Then a chance encounter throws him into the path of Essex-born Darian Taylor. Flashy and loud, radiant and full of life, Darian couldn't be more different...and yet he makes Ash laugh, reminding him of what it's like to step beyond the boundaries of his anxiety. But Ash has been living in his own shadow for so long that he can no longer see a way out. Can a man who doesn't trust himself ever trust in happiness? And how can someone who doesn't believe in happiness ever fight for his own?

MAAME BY JESSICA GEORGE
Hardcover, 320 pages
Expected publication: January 31st 2023 by St. Martin's Press
I actually have a copy of this and it is next on my list to read. I love a good family drama story.
Maame is not only a coming of age story, but it's so much more. The underlying themes the author touched on in this story include grief, racism, the unfair burdens society places on women, and dating in today's modern society. Maame also includes mental illness and lgbtqa representation. Maame is at times humorous, beautiful and at others times heartbreaking.
THE LAST TALE OF THE FLOWER BRIDE BY ROSHANI CHOKSHI
Hardcover, 304 pages
Expected publication: February 14th 2023 by William Morrow & Company
I will read anything that says it is Gothic...most the time I am disappointed, but I can't risk the chance of finding a great story!
Combining the lush, haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the dreamy enchantment of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a spellbinding and darkly romantic page-turner about love and lies, secrets and betrayal, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE- ALEX FINLAY
Hardcover, 368 pages
Expected publication: March 7th 2023 by Minotaur Books
I have been a fan of Alex Finlay's since his first book Every Last Fear, and I have made him an auto-buy without even realizing it.
Twenty-five years ago, Jenna, Donnie, and Nico were the best of friends, a bond forged as residents of Savior House, an abusive group home for parentless teens. When the home was shut down—after the disappearance of several kids—the three were split up.
Though the trauma of their childhood has never left them, each went on to live successfully, if troubled, lives. They haven’t seen one another since they were teens but now are reunited for a single haunting reason: someone is trying to kill them.
To save their lives, the group will have to revisit the nightmares of their childhoods and confront their past—a past that holds the secret to why someone wants them dead.
It’s a reunion none of them asked for... or wanted. But it may be the only way to save all their lives.

March 14, 2023 by Dial Press
Sounds like we might be getting another heartbreaking, moving, novel from the writer of Dear Edward
Vibrating with tenderness, Hello Beautiful is a gorgeous, profoundly moving portrait of what's possible when we choose to love someone not in spite of who they are, but because of it.
400 pages, Hardcover
April 25, 2023 by Berkley
I can be disappointed or absolutely in love with an Emily Henry book, but I always pick them up!

May 2, 2023 by Viking
I absolultely loved Every Summer After, infact it was in the top 5 books of last year so I am hoping this book will be equally good
A random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure where they make a promise one keeps and the other breaks, with life-changing effects
Expected publication May 16, 2023
It isnt a want list unless it includes a book by these two authors.
Sparks fly when a romance novelist and a documentary filmmaker join forces to craft the perfect Hollywood love story and take both of their careers to the next level—but only if they can keep the chemistry between them from taking the whole thing off script.
Expected publication June 20, 2023
I know, I tell everyone I am not sure if I like Riley Sager, yet once again I feel the urge to read one. Maybe so I can bitch about something for a week or two when I am finished with it?
A Gothic chiller about a young caregiver assigned to work for a woman accused of a Lizzie Borden-like massacre decades earlier.
384 pages, Hardcover
Expected publication July 25, 2023
This just seemed like a fun little book to read, and occasionall I need one of those
Never Have I Ever meets The X-Files in Amanda Quain's Ghosted, a gender-bent contemporary retelling of the Jane Austen classic, Northanger Abbey.
Are any of these books on your want list? Or do you have one not on this list you are waiting patiently for?
