Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2023. There are lots I’m looking forward to, some of which I’m lucky enough to have as eARCs via NetGalley. Others are books I’m planning to treat myself to when they’re published. Links from the titles will take you to the full book description on Goodreads/Amazon.
