THE 2023 NEW AUTHORS WHO ARE CATCHING TBR ATTENTION
We love talking about books and this means each week we have a themed list featuring books. This go around we talking the 2023 debut authors or books to be excited over! Of course this can spin some different ways, but I think I’m going to be pretty dang traditional.

📖 THE 2023 NEW AUTHORS (BUT ALSO NOT) WHO ARE CATCHING TBR ATTENTION 📖 TALKING 2023 DEBUT AUTHORS TO KEEP AN EYE ON. #TOPTEN #TOPTENLIST #TOPTENTUESDAY #BOOKLIST #BOOKS #READER #READING Share on XHonestly anytime I create a list like this it’s with “a grain of salt” because since it’s a new author, I don’t know anything about the book other than a synopsis. Meaning, I may read about (reviews) the book once it’s out and discover it’s something I wouldn’t care for. That said, for now, based on cover and plot, they sound as if they could be good. Also, no these aren’t all technically debut authors. But they are new to me… so I’m rolling with it. Let’s dive in and see what we find.
2023 DEBUT AUTHORS (BUT ALSO NOT REALLY)
THE BLONDE IDENTITY, ALLY CARTER (AUGUST)
Ally is certainly not a debut author. She has over twenty books to her name including the best-selling Gallagher books. This novel will mark her foray into adult fiction with a “hot” hero and a girl who is mistaken for her twin sister, who is a spy! Sounds fun, right? Goodreads
ROSEWOOD, SAYANTANI DASGUPTA (MARCH)
A kind of Sense and Sensibility re-telling, this one sounds cute and does look fun, too. Also, no, this isn’t a debut either. But I’m leaving it because I’m way too lazy to reformat as would be required to find a replacement. It would be a new to my author, so we’re saying this counts! Goodreads
WANDERLUST, ELLE EVERHART (JULY)
This one ends as being perfect for fans of Emily Henry, so this probably means Wanderlust won’t by my cup of tea. But it sure sounds cute following a woman who wins a competition that sends her on a trip. The catch is, the person she travels with will be a random contact from her phone… and he turns out to be a dude she ghosted! Goodreads
DEAR HENRY, LOVE EDITH, BECCA KINZER (JANUARY)
This one sounds darling following a woman renting a home who continues to miss the person she’s renting from so instead they leave notes for each other never realizing their impression of the other person isn’t exactly who they are. Goodreads
BELLEGARDE, JAMIE LILAC (JULY)
Adding this one is the biggest risk because according to Goodreads, there’s no cover copy yet. However, the cover did catch my eye. On a retailer site, the plot reads as being a kind of She’s All That re-telling that also features a boy from Paris. Goodreads
MARCH & FEATHER, EMMA SASKA (FEBRUARY)
Like any of these, adding this one is a risk. It’s a debut novel and from a publishing house I have never heard of. However, the plot sounds interesting not only because of its cute pen pal trope but also because its protagonist goes to a homeschool academy. #Curious indeed. Goodreads
BEAR WITH ME NOW, KATIE SHEPARD (APRIL)
This one sounds as though it could be good, and the cover is cute too. Now basically nothing about it beyond this. I suspect it’ll be typical adult fiction in terms of content, but the plot does interest me. It will follow a man with panic attacks whose sister takes him on a wilderness retreat in Montana. When he becomes attached to an employee there, he hires her to become his sober companion and back to New York they go. Goodreads

Dear Henry, Love Edith feels a bit like The Flatshare. I will definitely have to check it out.

“The Flatshare” is another one I’m super curious about! So many books yet to discover. :)
I had the same reaction to this prompt. I hope you love all of these books!
My post: https://lydiaschoch.com/top-ten-tuesday-debut-books-im-excited-about/
Thank you, Lydia. Me too. Hope you enjoy your debut books, too.
Bear With Me Now sounds really fun. I preordered it, so fingers crossed!
Right!? I thought so too but I may just be swayed by how cute the cover is! ;)
I hope you enjoy all of these!
Thanks. Me too, Deanna.
Bear With Me Now does sound good.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
That cover caught my eye right away! :)
I did not do this topic because I couldn’t think of any debut authors and had already forgotten Becca Kinzer IS a debut author because her book reads like a well-seasoned author! I hope you enjoy these if/when you get an opportunity to read them.
Some of mine don’t fit either… but I went with it anyway. ;) Thanks! I hope so too, Cindy.
I am curious about Wanderlust, since I do love Emily Henry too… Hope you’ll love all of these!
Thanks! I hope so too, Lindsey. :)
I have enjoyed Ally Carter’s previous books in the past, but her new one sounds like it may be a little romance heavy for me! I hope you enjoy all of these.
Thanks, I hope so too, Jo! Hoping it’ll be a fun read – and I’m glad to know you liked her earlier books. :)
THE BLONDE IDENTITY sounds super fun! You can always count on Ally Carter to make you smile :)
Happy TTT!

I’m so glad to hear this! I’ve wanted to try one of Ally’s books for a long time now and haven’t made the time. Hoping this one is indeed fun. :)
I’ve seen Wanderlust and Bear With Me Now around and they sound/look cute! I’ll be keeping an eye out for some reviews from fellow readers. Happy reading!
Same! I’m curious to discover more of what those will be about. :)
