With 2022 coming to a close it can feel very bittersweet, but one thing to look forward to is, with a new year comes new books! I will be highlighting my top 6 in this post but these are by no means all the books I am anticipating for next year. If you’d like to check out the full list over on my goodreads, here’s a link! https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/95838307-johanna-burton?page=2&ref=nav_mybooks&shelf=cant-wait-2023
These six books will all be published in the first half of 2023 (and I’ll include the exact date along with a short summary) but if anyone is interested in a part two of this post with books from the second half of the year I am happy to oblige!
