When I asked for suggestions on who should be featured in 2023 I never imagined y’all would give me such a list. Selecting authors was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Let me tell you that once I had the twelve, I looked back at the list and thought I can’t settle on just these twelve.
I will admit though that my second thought was how in the world was I going to add more in and then do giveaways and everything else without being overwhelmed. In 2022 I became so overwhelmed that I pushed things off over here. It is something I don’t want to do for 2023.
So I made myself a promise. I could add in however many authors I wanted as long as I had all of the posts and giveaways scheduled, ready to go before the first of January. I made that decision on December 4th.
I had to change the format a little and instead of a single post for each author I have multiple authors in each post. However, after a full weekend all of the posts are not only written, the new giveaways are there, and they are all scheduled ready to go. So without further ado let me introduce you to the authors that will be featured here in 2023!

I hope that y’all will enjoy each of them. I will say that I would have loved to feature every single author that y’all suggested. There were just a lot and I had to narrow it down some. I promise though that I did keep a list of all the authors mentioned that I didn’t select. You never know when they may pop up here.
You picked a great list of authors.
lots of authors
I am super excited to learn more about each of these authors this year. Great list!
What an awesome list! I am very grateful to see so many of my favorite authors from the suggestions that I had made to you and I am looking forward to being introduced to those authors that I have not read yet. I hope that you love the authors and their stories as much as I do and I am looking forward to reading your reviews. Reading more is definitely one of my goals for the year especially for the first month or two as I am still recovering from COVID and taking it slow for now.
Some of these authors are new to me so I can’t wait to learn more about their books!
This is an amazing list a lot of my favs.
Great list! I see two that I was hoping for, and a number I’ve never heard of and am excited to be introduced to them!
I am so excited I found your site! I am thrilled to read your reviews and find some new authors for 2023!
great list, i love reading!
I saw there is a television show based off Diana Gabaldon’s books. The story looks interesting so I added the books to my TBR list.
Thank you for introducing me to Diana Gabaldon. It’s wonderful to find a new author and then dive into his or her books.
Great list… my kind of fiction!
i recognize some of these names! cool to see
That is quite a list! Better set some time aside to dig in!
Thanks for showing the whole year coming up – that makes it so much more fun! 🙂
Looking forward to reading your thoughts on Nalini Singh
It’s an impressive list for sure!
That is a pretty great list of authors. I think I might make it my goal to read one book each month from at least one of the featured authors.
Nice list and way to go on being organized. One of my goals for the year as well. Yet if we fall off track it’s okay do your thing and enjoy life.
A great list of authors. My goal this year is to read at least one book a month.
