Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature/meme now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. The meme was originally the brainchild of The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Books I Meant to Read in 2023 but Didn’t Get To.
Top Ten Books I Meant to Read in 2023 but Didn’t Get Around To (Or Haven’t Finished Yet)
I hope to read most of these in 2024. Some are ARCs, but others are books I just really wanted to read, but didn’t have access to in 2023. In some cases, I’m on the hold list at the library, so it’s just a question of when my holds come in.
Babel: An Arcane History, by R. F. Kuang (Aug. 23, 2022) – hibernating/in progress
Claws and Contrivances, by Stephanie Burgis (July 10, 2023) – hibernating/in progress
Bookshops and Bonedust, by Travis Baldree (Nov. 7, 2023) – received for Christmas 2023, so I’ll be able to read it soon!
Inheritance, by Nora Roberts (Nov. 21, 2023)
A Sinister Revenge, by Deanna Raybourn (Mar. 7, 2023)

Ooooh, I could have added Claws & Contrivances to my list, also! But at least I’m reading it now. (The audiobook version, narrated by Emma Newman, is a lot of fun.)
Happy reading!

The only one I read was Chaos Terminal. I really enjoyed it. I’d like to read that new series by Stephanie Burgis.

I adore the Veronica Speedwell series! It’s so fun. I’m several books behind in it; maybe I’ll catch up in 2024?? I hope you enjoy all these when you get to them.
Happy TTT (on a Thursday)!

I reaaally need to get to Babel too. I’ve seen some mixed reviews, but it sounds fascinating.

Thank you for reminding me about The October Witches! I put it on my Goodreads TBR right after it published in September 2022, but it wasn’t available for US purchase at that time. I checked a couple times more and it still wasn’t available. I checked again just now and Hoopla has it! I’m excited. 😃
