Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing During the Second Half of 2023.
There are so many books I’m looking forward to! Here are some highlights that I’m excited to read during the 2nd half of 2023… trying not to repeat the books highlighted in last week’s summer TBR post (except for the October Daye books, because those are absolutely at the top of my “most excited for” list this year!!).

Definitely looking forward to The Wake-Up Call as well!
I love all her books — this sounds like it’ll be a good one!
Agreed!
Starter Villain has been on so many lists. Hope it’s good!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I’m really excited for Starter Villain — love pretty much everything by this author!
A Pride and Prejudice witchy retelling? That went on to my tbr so quickly!
Haha, same! This will be my 2nd book this year with Lydia in the main role!
Great list! Starling House is another I want to read!
Can’t wait for Starling House! I’ve loved everything so far by that author.
I think I need that Starter Villain book in my life based on the cover alone. I hope you love it and the rest of these.
It is definitely a great cover!!
Ooh…I think I need to go add Starter Villain to my list!
I think it’s going to be lots of fun!
I love the cover of California Golden. I hope these are worth the wait!
Thank you! I agree, based just on the cover, California Golden looks so good!
Looks like you have some fun reading ahead of you. Enjoy!
Happy TTT!

Thank you! As always, there are probably more books that I want to read than I actually have time for, but it’s fun to wish 🙂
I love this list! Black Sheep, Starter Villain, Starling House and Dreambound are must reads for me too😁
So excited for all of them! Now if only I had more hours to read each day…
I hope you enjoy all of these!
