Hi everybody and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! As summer is finally here, today we’re talking about the books on our summer 2023 to-read list.
Summer for me is a period when I like to spend some more time catching up on backlist books so this list features some of those. Though I also have quite a few new releases I’m looking forward to.
But, as always, I’m a big mood reader so who knows what’ll happen with this list? We’ll see 🙂
The New Releases
Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon
Release date: June 20, 2023
A ghostwriter and a struggling actor help each other on the page and in the bedroom in this steamy romantic comedy and I am here for it!
The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
Release date: June 27, 2023
I’ve loved Ashley Poston’s The Dead Romantics and this seems like another amazing romance! I’m already super intrigued by the time aspect in this (which kind of reminds me of the movie The Lake House).
Hello Stranger by Katherine Center
Release date: July 11, 2023
This contemporary romance focuses on a struggling artist whose life gets a lot more complicated when she has a minor surgery with the major side-effect that she can no longer see faces. Sounds intriguing!
Cruel Seduction (Dark Olympus #5) by Katee Robert
Release date: August 8, 2023
I’ve enjoyed every book in this Greek mythology retelling / dark romance series so far so ofcourse I’m also excited for book 5, which is said to be “a scorchingly hot modern retelling of Aphrodite and Hephaestus (and Pandora and Adonis).”
New Adult by Timothy Janovsky
Release date: August 15, 2023
“Nolan Baker longs to be “thirty, flirty and thriving” in this charmingly quirky LGBTQIA+ romance that’s one part 13 Going on 30 and one part One Last Stop.” There is not one part of this description that I do not like.
My Roommate Is A Vampire by Jenna Levine
Release date: August 15, 2023
This just seems like the perfect blend of quirky paranormal rom-com story I would adore. Also, I love the retro style of the cover!
Things We Left Behind (Knockemout #3) by Lucy Score
Release date: September 5, 2023
I’ve fallen head over heels in love with the Knockemout series this year (full review rave here) and ever since I read book one, I’ve been eagerly anticipating Sloane and Lucian’s story.
The Backlist Books
(2023 Releases To Catch Up On)
I am always excited about a lot of books, but I also don’t always get to read them as soon as I originally plan to. So this summer, I hope to catch up on some of these 2023 releases I was excited about but haven’t gotten to read just yet.
Tell Me:
What books are on your summer TBR? Do we have any in common?
Any books from my backlist TBR you already read and loved?
I feel like with a title as My Roommate is a Vampire that has to be funny, right?
I also really need to get to Spellbound this Summer.
I really hope My Roommate is a Vampire will be a funny read! Hope we’ll both get to Spellbound 🙂
These all look so fun! I bet the Solomon and Poston books end up on a lot of TBRs this week – I’m looking forward to them as well!
Hope we’ll both enjoy the Solomon and Poston books! 🙂
My Roommate Is a Vampire sounds fun.
I’m a big mood reader, too.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I do hope it’ll be a fun read indeed!
The Neighbor Favor sounds good.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It does sound good indeed! 🙂
I really want to read My Roommate Is A Vampire.
Me too, it sounds so much fun!
Oh gosh, I don’t recognise any of these! But it appears to be a nice diverse selection and I hope you get to enjoy them all!

I’m seeing so much buzz for Poston’s The Seven Year Slip. And the new one coming from Center. I hope you get to all of these this summer!
Yes, indeed! I really hope they’ll live up to all that buzz 🙂
I loved Poston’s and Center’s books. I hope they treat you just as well.
Thanks, I’m glad to hear you loved them!
Thanks, glad to hear that 🙂
I’m a mood reader also. My Roommate looks totally fun!
It does look fun! 🙂

Glad to have reminded you 🙂
