Top Ten Tuesday: 2023 Books I Didn’t Get To

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books I Meant to Read in 2023 but Didn’t Get To. Even though I read a lot, there are always too many books being published to read everything. For this prompt, I’m going to focus on 2023 releases I didn’t have a chance to read.

The Family Fortuna by Lindsay Eagar: I really love Lindsay’s middle grade book, Race to the Bottom of the Sea, so I’m curious about her YA debut. I just didn’t have a chance to read it when it first came out.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros: So many people have told me to read this, and I wanted to but I found out it was going to be a series and then found it out it’s going to be a 5-book series and now I’m not sure if I want to just read it and suffer from cliffhanger endings or wait for all five books. (At the rate she’s publishing them, it might not be that long of a wait…)

Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson: I have yet to read a Sanderson book and this one sounds so good and I heard you don’t have to read his other books to understand it.

Come See the Fair by Gavriel Savit: I really enjoyed Gavriel’s other books, but this one slipped under my radar and I forgot it came out.

Isle of the Gods by Amie Kaufman: I have a friend who really wants me to read this, but I’m waiting for book two to release before I dive in.

Grumbones by Jenn Bennett: I’m so curious to read a middle grade book by Jenn Bennett, but it wasn’t a high priority book last year.

Rook by William Ritter: I love the Jackaby series so I’m intrigued by a new book in the series. I just didn’t have a chance to pick it up yet!

The Memory Thieves by Dhonielle Clayton: I read The Marvellers in 2022 and thought it was a fun middle grade book, but for some reason I thought there was a third book coming so I was going to wait to read The Memory Thieves. Now, I’m not sure. I’ve heard the audiobooks are great, though, so I might reread book one and read book two that way.

The Narrow Road Between Desires by Patrick Rothfuss: I am both excited and disappointed for this book. Mainly because while I’m glad Pat is FINALLY publishing something, I want that something to be book three, not another novella. *sigh*

Our Cursed Love by Julie Abe: This book had such a late 2023 release date that I just didn’t get to reading it yet.
