Today’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is about our Winter TBR list. I decided to spin this a little differently, instead thinking about my TBR for 2023. I’ve organized this by a few categories. First, there’s all the books released in 2022 that I didn’t get to. A lot of these books are showing up on the 2022 “best of” lists. Then, there’s the backlist books that are highest rated on Goodreads. There’s books I own that I haven’t gotten to yet. And finally, the next books in series I’m reading.
All that adds up to way more books than I can read, so I’d love to get your recommendations on which books I should move up on my TBR for 2023.
