January 2023 New Releases

Happy New Year, dear readers! I pray that 2023 is a year of joyful days and great reads for each of you. As promised yesterday, during our bird’s eye view look at Early 2023 New Releases, today I’m going to break down the January 2023 New Releases that are on my radar. These 65 titles comprise a range of genres – contemporary, historical, cozy mystery, suspense, Amish fiction, children’s books, YA, speculative, and even a nonfiction one. And, of course, expect to see lots of romance because it’s me, after all 🙂 All books listed are Christian or clean in content, to the best of my knowledge.
