There are some really good books being released during the first month of 2023, y’all! Here are the January new releases that I’m excited to read.
January Romance New Releases
Loathe to Love You by Ali Hazelwood (1/3)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
It’s Ali Hazelwood, so I don’t need any other reason to add this to my TBR. I’m not the biggest fan of novellas and short stories, so I’m not putting this at the very top like I would one of her actual novels, but I’m excited nonetheless.
The Second You’re Single by Cara Tanamachi (1/31)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
A freelance writer declares herself single, starts an online campaign to be independent, and then meets a handsome friend from elementary school. This sounds so cute! It also involves Valentine’s Day if you’re a seasonal reader.
The Reunion by Kayla Olson (1/17)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
Two teen stars reconnect at their show’s reunion. I love a good celebrity romance, so this one is high on my TBR.
Do I Know You? by Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka (1/24)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I love this author duo. They wrote The Roughest Draft, which reminded me of Beach Read if Taylor Jenkins Reid had written it. I can’t wait to read their newest.
Exes & O’s by Amy Lea (1/10)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
Amy Lea’s debut novel, Set on You, got rave reviews last year and even though I still haven’t read it, I’m adding this one to my list!
Speechless by Lindsey Lanza (1/17)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
This self-published title has been getting a lot of buzz, so I’m curious. I love finding a new indie author to become obsessed with!
The Backup Plan by Jill Shalvis (1/17)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
This is a reach because I don’t typically pick up books with covers like this (I know, I know. I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover) but a lot of other bookstagrammers that I trust have been loving this author, so I want to try her newest. It’s part of a series, but each can be read as a stand-alone.
Final Offer by Lauren Asher (1/31)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I’m so excited for the final book in the Dreamland Billionaires series! I’ve read (and loved) the first book and I hope to get to the second one before this one comes out.
January Mystery/Thrillers & General Fiction New Releases
All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham (1/10)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
A Flicker in the Dark was one of my favorite thrillers last year, so I immediately added the author’s newest to my TBR. Do I have a clue what it’s about? Nope! But I’m excited for it!
Just the Nicest Couple by Mary Kubica (1/10)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
Adding Mary Kubica’s newest thriller to my TBR is a no-brainer. I love Mary Kubica’s books.
Regrets Only by Kieran Scott (1/10)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
This one sounds like Big Little Lies + there’s an old high school flame that returns. This sounds amazing. I cannot wait.
The Social Climber by Amanda Pellegrino (1/3)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
The cover caught my eye. The description made me add it to my list. I’ll be reading this one while listening to Taylor Swift’s Mastermind.
The Sweet Spot by Amy Poepel
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I read Amy Poepel’s Small Admissions years ago and loved it. Her newest book sounds so good. The setting sounds idyllic.
Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn (1/24)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I’ve never read anything by Kate Clayborn, but I had a friend who read an early copy of this one and absolutely loved it. I’m so excited about this one! I’m a sucker when the story involves the main character returning to her hometown.
January Young Adult New Releases
Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert (1/3)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
I love the cover (just look at that pink!) and the fact that the title contains part of a Taylor Swift lyric? Sold.
The Davenports by Krystal Marquis (1/31)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
This is being pitched as a young adult version of Bridgerton. I don’t need any more convincing.
Begin Again by Emma Lord (1/24)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
Emma Lord is one of my favorite young adult writers, and this one sounds like it could be my favorite. I have been anticipating this for the longest!
January Nonfiction New Releases
Spare by Prince Harry (1/10)
Add to Goodreads/Purchase on Amazon
And now we come to this book. I have gone back and forth about wanting to read this one. I have so many thoughts on the whole Megan and Harry/ William and Kate debacle. I’m definitely curious about it!
Those are the books I’m excited about this month. Are any of these on your TBR?
Some great additions to my TBR list! I preordered Spare because I am very curious to see what’s in it.
