I love historical fiction. I love learning new things as I read for pleasure–especially about places and events of the past. This year promises to add to my bookshelves (and to my audible library). Kate Morton’s upcoming release in April–her first novel in five years–ranks as my #1 must-read.

Below are some popular lists of the most-anticipated historical fiction coming out in 2023. So many good ones! Which books are you most excited to read?
