Top Ten Tuesday-February TBR

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is 2023 debut books I am looking forward to. Since I literally have no idea of ANY debut books I am looking forward to (does this mean new author debut books? (my assumption) Or just books coming out in 2023?), I decided to go with my February TBR. I never do a monthly TBR so it's new for me, LOL. I decided to list ten of the authors I plan to try this year! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today. 

10 Books I plan/hope to read in February:

The Buy-In (Audio)

Title: The Buy-In (AUDIO review)

Series: Graham Brothers #1

Author: Emma St. Clair

Narrators: Lorana Hoopes & Noah Collins

Genre: RomCom, Contemporary Fiction, Humor

Source: Author Provided

My review:

I love the Buy-In by Emma St. Clair. I have read the book twice and now I have listened to it. For a person who does not typically re-read books, this is HUGE. 

Dogwood

Title: Dogwood

Author: Chris Fabry

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Fiction

Publisher:Tyndale Publishing

Source: Own

Challenges: 23 in 23, Literary Escapes 2022, Read Your Bookshelf Challenge by Chantel, Oceana's Christian Fiction Romance Challenge,

My review:

Dogwood is the first book I have read by Chris Fabry. I picked it up at a used bookstore last year and this year I am trying to read more from my own bookshelves. I also want to give more male authors a try. 

Spell the month in books-February 2023

I am happy to be participating in this monthly meme again! It is hosted by Jana @ Reviews From the Stacks. Here is how she describes the meme: 

Spell the Month in Books is a linkup hosted here on Reviews From the Stacks on the first Saturday of each month.

Stacking the Shelves #59, Sunday Post #56, Sunday Salon #50

Hey bookish friends! How are things going for you? It was another busy week for us. My husband found out Friday morning he was exposed to Covid on Wednesday, then later that morning he started with a sore throat and a sniffle. So far testing negative but we will be low-key this weekend.

Merritt and her Childhood Crush

Title: Merritt and her Childhood Crush

Series: Oakley Island Romcom #2

Author: Emma St. Clair & Jenny Proctor

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romcom,

My review:

Merritt and her Childhood Crush is the second book in the Oakley Island Romcom series by Emma St. Clair and Jenny Proctor. It is best to read this series in order. I loved Eloise's story in Eloise and the Grump Next Door and could not wait to get Merritt's story.

Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing

Title: Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing

Author: Matthew Perry

My review:

I chose to read Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing because I loved the TV sitcom Friends. I was very curious to learn more about Matthew Perry.
