Looking Forward To is a monthly feature where I showcase all of the books, music, movies, etc. that I’m looking forward to in the coming month. This post is extremely belated as a lot of my posts are but here it is! 2023 has so many amazing sounding books so far and I can’t wait to read them. With the new year comes shows returning and new shows premiering. I’m still waiting on the show to fill my Netflix’s The Babysitter’s Club sized-hole.
