Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today we’re talking about the books on our spring 2023 to-read list and since springtime is always FULL of shiny new releases, I decided to focus on new releases specifically for this list. So here are not ten, but twelve 2023 spring releases on my TBR:
The Do-Over by Suzanne Park
Release date: 4 April 2023
The Do-Over is a fun rom-com about a young Korean-American woman having to return to college after discovering she’s a few credits shy of completing her degree—only to find one of her TAs is her old college boyfriend. Sounds fun!
Spell Bound by F.T. Lukens
Release date: 4 April 2023
I have loved both of F.T. Lukens previous books – they are the perfect fun, light fantasy reads and this one seems equally great already.
Stolen Sorcery & Other Misadventures by Annette Marie and Rob Jacobsen
Release date: 7 April 2023
Kit’s next adventure is almost here and I am so excited because I missed this character so much.
The Nanny by Lana Ferguson
Release date: 11 April 2023
“A woman discovers the father of the child she is nannying may be her biggest (Only)Fan” Umm, yes please!
Between Us by Mhairi McFarlane
Release date: 13 April 2023
It’s a new Mhairi McFarlane! I’ve loved everything I’ve read by her before so of course I’m looking forward to her new release.
In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune
Release date: 25 April 2023
In the words of TJ Klune himself, In The Lives of Puppets is “A queer retelling of Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio starring an inventor named Victor, a mysterious android called Hap (Hysterically Angry Puppet), an anxiety-riddled Roomba vacuum named Rambo, and a sociopathic nursing machine, the Registered Automaton To Care, Heal, Educate and Drill (Nurse Ratched, for short).” I mean, what’s not to love? He had me at “anxiety-riddled Roomba vacuum named Rambo“…
Happy Place by Emily Henry
Release date: 25 April 2023
A friendcation and a second-chance romance? By Emily Henry? Yes please!
Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune
Release date: 2 May 2023
Every Summer After was one of my favorite books of 2023, so of course I’m super excited to read a new novel by Carley Fortune! I’m also getting some Before Sunrise/Before Sunset vibes from the summary, and that’s only further endorsement in my eyes, as I love those movies.
The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren
Release date: 16 May 2023
FIZZY IS GETTING HER OWN BOOK!!!
Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee
Release date: 16 May 2023
Heartstopper meets Crazy Rich Asians? Fake dating? AND that cover? Of course I’m looking forward to reading this one!
Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
Release date: 13 June 2023
Ali Hazelwood is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, so of course I’m looking forward to her next release!
Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon
Release date: 20 June 2023
“A ghostwriter and a struggling actor help each other on the page and in the bedroom in this steamy romantic comedy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk.”
Tell Me:
What are some books you are looking forward to reading this spring?
Do we have any in common?
This time of year does always pack in the new releases. Makes me both quite curious and a little overwhelmed with all the bookish possibilities. Suzanne’s cover art makes me want to read more about her book! Definitely one to add to my “look into” for the TBR list. 🙂
Indeed, spring always seems to be a busy bookish time and I’m happy about that 🙂 The Do Over does look pretty, hope you’ll love it if you decide to give it a try!
Fake dates and mooncakes <3 Really looking forward to that. I'm first waiting on the paperback release of the last Lukens book before I go look at this one haha.
I’m so excited for Fake Dates and Mooncakes too 🙂 Haha, I get it, hope you’ll love the other Lukens books!
There are some great books here, Lindsey. Have a wonderful Tuesday 😊
Thanks Jody!
So many pretty covers!! The Nanny looks and sounds like a fun read!
Haha yes these covers are all so pretty! And I’m looking forward to The Nanny indeed 🙂
I can’t wait for Stolen Sorcery & Other Misadventures. I miss Kit so much! And I’m also looking forward to The Nanny.
Yes, we need more Kit so I’m happy he’ll be here soon 🙂 And yes, The Nanny definitely looks a lot of fun!
I’m so excited for The Lives of Puppets!

It’s looking to be a great spring with all these amazing books 😀 Thanks Dini, hope you’ll love these too!
I have a feeling you will love The Nanny and Love, Theoretically. I’m also looking forward to Fortune’s next book.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked both those reads, I’m looking forward to reading them! And I hope you’ll love the next Fortune book 🙂
The Nanny looks like a fun read.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It definitely does!
The Nanny seems like such a good book. I’ll need to grab that ASAP.
If you want to see what’s on my spring TBR, here’s my TTT
The Nanny does indeed sound amazing!
Stolen Sorcery looks fun. And ooh Mhairi McFarlane. I’ve wanted to read her stuff ever since Don’t You Forget About Me but just never have…
I’ve loved every Mhairi McFarlane book I’ve tried so far, and Don’t You Forget About Me as well. Hope you’ll enjoy her books when you decide to try them!
I have Happy Place and Meet Me at the Lake on my TBR, but they will probably be summer or autumn reads for me. I hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the time.
Pam @ Read! Bake! Create!

Oh, chances are I’ll probably also read them in summer or autumn as well, depends on the reading mood probably 🙂 Thanks, hope you’ll enjoy these reads too!
This list is full of so many books I want to read. I’m so excited for Happy Place!! I was a bit disappointed with In the Lives of Puppets and did not like Fake Dates and Mooncakes. I REALLY hope you enjoy them much more than I! <3
Aww sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy In the Lives of Puppets or Fake Dates and Mooncakes. I hope I’ll have better luck with them. And hope we’ll both LOVE Happy Place 🙂
Yes, I hope you do too!! Look forward to seeing what you think!
Four of yours are on my list as well!
Let’s hope they’ll live up to both our expectations! 🙂
I hope you enjoy all of these!
