Top Ten Tuesday- Authors I Read for the First Time in 2023
Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is new-to-me authors I discovered in 2023, however I already knew and connected with these authors long before 2023, I just hadn’t gotten around the reading their books yet. And 2023 was that year. So I tweaked this post to be Authors I Read for the First Time in 2023. I don’t have a top ten, because I didn’t read ten new authors, but I will share what I have.

Top Ten Tuesday- Books I Meant to Read in 2023 But Didn’t Get to
Okay, looks like today’s post is confession time. All of these books I intended to read in 2023, but didn’t get to for no other reason than I just ran out of time. Between life and writing my own novels, it doesn’t leave me a lot of time for reading, and while I really wanted to read these stories—they just got put off. Hopefully, 2024 will be their year because each one looks and sounds amazing.
