Book Releases: Twitter’s Anticipated Releases, Or A Look at What 2023 Has in Store

You may remember a while back we tweeted a question into the void, about LGBT releases people were looking forward to for 2023 (as we have done for two years now). Well, if all those tweets seemed a little much to sort through, we’ve collated them here for easy viewing! All 128 books mentioned for you to scroll through. With some gorgeous covers to boot.

We did this last year and the year before too, if you remember, so you can check that out to see what was included then (also, some of the books in last year’s post have been pushed to 2023, as will, undoubtedly, several of this year’s post to next year. Even more to look forward to!). And of course, this post is a drop in the ocean compared to everything we know coming out next year, so make sure to keep an eye out for our releases posts so you don’t miss any!

Finally, a little key (bearing in mind that it’s a little hard to confirm exact rep so far out & some we think might be gay, but only based on an author’s previous output):

🧡 = sapphic rep
💛 = achillean rep
💙 = trans or nonbinary rep
💚 = other or unknown rep
