  1. I haven’t read any of those books, but they look good. My favorite book that I read in 2022 was In the Company of Witches (Evenfall Witches B&B 1), by Auralee Wallace. I think it was published in 2021. I’m planning to read book 2 in the series in the spring. 🙂

  2. I have seen a few of these books on so many lists today that I am seriously planning to get started on them soon myself 🙂 The cover of Georgie All Along is so sunnily delightful!

  3. I’m excited about the new Finlay Donovan book. I can’t wait to read it. Love Wager also sounds really good! I want to read all of these you’ve featured here, frankly! I hope you enjoy them when you read them!

  4. Those all look good, and if I were currently picking up contemporary romances and contemporary fiction, I’d be all over quite a few of them! (I seem to be leaning back toward fantasy, historical mysteries, and the occasional historical romance at present. My genre preferences tend to cycle through waves.)

  5. These look fun! I hope you get to read them all. I only had two books for this prompt, so I decided not to do it.

  6. Oh these all look good! I have the Finlay Donovan series on my TBR and I really need to read something by Emily Henry. I’ve seen her name on so many lists and so many positive reviews of her books.

  7. Some great choices Wendy. I know that I want to read many of these books, but will wait for their release. My TBR mountain is going to grow today!

  8. I’m looking forward to Someone Else’s Shoes and Happy Place, though neither made my list this week. So many books, have to draw the line somewhere!

  9. As you know, I’m not familiar with these books since I read mostly other genres. I’m not surprised to see Henry has a new one; she seems pretty prolific. I’ve read a couple Moyes books but I’m not sure about this one. However, the series that I AM interested in is the Finlay Donovan one….I really need to get to it this year.

  10. I’m a fan of JoJo Moyes and her latest looks good. I’ve been wanting to read Christina Lauren for a while. Great list! Happy reading this week 🙂

  11. I love how cheerful and bright the covers are – and I’m looking forward to Georgie All Along as well, I’ve seen some fab sounding reviews recently for it

  12. Both Off the Map and Happy Place made my TTT list this week. And I’m looking forward to The Love Wager, too. 😀

  13. Great list Wendy! These covers all so colorful! I haven’t looked into what’s releasing this year yet, but I’m excited to check some of these out. Thanks for sharing!

  14. I didn’t read any of these, but I have the first Finlay Donovan book waiting on my Kindle. I’ve heard such good things about the series. Happy Reading, Wendy!
