a few good ways to get updates are to follow the 'main' Christian publishers (either on social media or through their newsletters) . . . they will have regular updates on who has what books coming out . . . you can also do the same (social media or newsletters) for your favourite authors

You can go to Baker Books and access their catalog for Bethany House and Revell.
Go to Christian Books and look at upcoming releases.

No, ma'am. It can be any book you're looking forward to reading. :)

I keep a watch on the Most Anticipated Christian Fiction (year) listopia lists here on Goodreads (under Browse -> Lists on desktop), but I'm also on NetGalley so get access to some early copies of books as well.

The relationship/drama is my favorite type of story. Here's a few that captured my interest, all to be released in early 2023.

Crystal, you had asked about where to find new releases. Someone once shared Christian Book Deals' Amazon page with me and it's the most complete source I've ever found. There's several lists on the main page, including new releases by season or quarter of the year. Hope this helps.

Thanks Carole! Great tip.

I'm currently reading this, Skulduggery by Paul Rushworth-Brown and enjoying it. It was recommended on the Book and Lace Book club website: https://bit.ly/3mMj0GG It has good reviews. A story of love and religious tolerance in 17th-century England. The story is a well-painted image of how peasants would have lived at this time, but that is only the backdrop to a suspenseful whodunit.

First, it was the new Against the Darkness trilogy by H. L. Wegley 3/2023. But now I’m looking forward to In This Moment by Gabrielle Meyer. 5/2/23!!
