This week’s topic was supposed to be 2023 Debut Books I’m Excited About. I’m not aware of looking forward to any debuts so I’m looking back…again. It is important to remember that at one time even Shakespeare was a debut author. I’m limiting myself to the last few decades at most. These are not in any ranked order. When possible, my review is linked. If not I’ve linked to Amazon. I do not make any money off your clicks.

There’s something special about a debut novel I think!

Nice approach to the topic! I’ve definitely enjoyed debuts over the years, but like you, it’s not like I’m looking specifically for debuts in advance. It makes me so happy to see I Shall Be Near To You on your list! Such a beautiful book.

I loved THE ROSIE PROJECT! It made me literally LOL. Still haven’t read the sequel, though. I should get on that. I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT!

I did the same twist on the topic this week, I couldn’t think of enough 2023 debuts to make a list!

When you said earlier that Last Summer on State Street was the best book you read last year, I just had to read it. It was wonderful, I loved it. I have also read The Rosie Project which I liked because of the humor. Your list sounds like a winner!!
