2023 books with ace characters
i made a list like this one for both 2021 and 2022 during ace week and people seemed to like those posts, so I’m back with a 2023 version! some of these books already have covers and synopses, while some only have a short deal announcement, but I’ve listed the specific rep for the books i could find it for. if you have any additions, feel free to add onto the post. usually i also include aro in the title, but i have found a single arospec book for next year so far, so that felt kind of useless in this case. happy last day of ace week!
