Top 10 Tuesday: 2023 Debut Authors I'm Eager to Read
A new Tuesday, a new prompt for Top 10 Tuesday. This week the prompt is debut authors for 2023 I'm anticipating. Looking at my fledgling reading list for this year, I found a few, then had to go searching a bit. Here's what I came up with though I'm sure I'll find lots more on all your blogs!
Thanks to Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting another week of Top Ten Tuesday. I enjoy participating each week for a couple reasons. I'm a compulsive list maker and love a good list. And, I love a connection with other readers as I wander their book blogs. Click clover to link to Goodreads.

And there you have it - some of the debut authors that are on my radar. Looks like a pretty good mix of genres which is always my goal. Some of these books I came across through NetGalley, some from other bloggers, and a few from reading lists like BookBub and Likewise, always helpful resources.
