So my title was getting long and doesn’t express everything I wanted to say. For instance, you may not realize that CCR stands for Christian contemporary romance and Indie means independently published. I also didn’t get to say that my list only contains books from the first quarter. I figured I’d be here all day if I listed every single book I want to read in 2022, not to mention some people haven’t yet advertised the book they’re going to release.
I’d also love to hear any books I may have missed that belongs in my category (Indie, CCR, ’22 release). Let me know in the comments. But first, the books!
January Releases
Postcards by Elizabeth Maddrey
I read everything Elizabeth writes and Postcards is no exception. Especially because of the cover. The first person pov it’ll offer, and I might have peeked at the blurb (rarely happens) and now want to read it even more so.
Love on Ice by Carolyn Miller
I have book one currently sitting on my TBR pile to read and I plan on reading the entire series. I have a good feeling this series is going to be awesome.
Waiting for You Right Now by K. Leah
I’ve never read her books but this cover alone has me signing up. Since it’s book four, I’ll have to quickly sneak in the first three.
The CEO’s Companion by Rose Fresquez
Rose has great books that are great to take you away while you watch the journey of two people fall in love. I look forward to hearing the tale of Eric and Joy.
February Releases
What Matters Most by Andrea Boyd
Andrea is one of my critique partners so I’m actually reading this one now. It’s so good and I can’t wait for everyone else to read it.
Say It’s for Good by Teresa Tysinger
Teresa is another person I have the privilege of critiquing for. I actually didn’t get to finish this books so I’m eagerly awaiting the chance to read again and finish this time. :)
Princess in Hiding by Carol Moncado
What’s a list without Carol?! I love her royal books since they’re often paired with some of my favorite tropes. She’s a great author to just read, relax, and know you’ll be entertained.
His Quiet Serenade by Jan Thompson
Isn’t this cover adorable? There’s something about it that relaxes me and draws me in at the same time. I can’t wait to dive into the story.
Checked Impressions by Carolyn Miller
I love the titles and covers for Carolyn’s series. It makes the anticipation all the better. :)
March Releases
Hearts and Goals by Carolyn Miller
I’m sure you’re not surprised she made my list again. Like I said, I plan on reading the entire series. :)

Hi Toni! This avid reader reads a variety of genre, not just CCR so I have some historical romances I am looking forward too. One author CCR Indie author with a release in the 1st Quarter missing from the list is Valerie Comer’s Kiss Me Like You Mean It, Cowboy (Cavanagh Cowboys Romance 4).
Snowy cold day in SW Michigan. Most schools are having a snow day. We are under a winter advisory. After a mild fall and December, winter has arrived. Best wishes and enjoy the weekend.
Thanks Toni! 😍
They all sound interesting! Lots of new authors to me too.
I don’t have any to add to your list but I did find an author from your list that I am not familiar with and that is always fun!
Thanks, Toni! What a great list to be a part of.
Looks like great books
Ack, I’m already behind on my Carol Moncado reading….and now you’re suggesting more authors and titles to add to my TBR list?? :-)
I’ve read some of these already, as ARC and one as proofreader!! So, I definitely agree with your list! You have some I haven’t read, so I’m sure my TBR stack is going to grow!!
Checked impressions by Carolyn Miller
Thanks!
*gasp* how did I miss another Cavanagh Cowboys romance?! Thanks for letting me know!
My kiddos have a snow day as well. Have a great weekend!
Just impatiently waiting for it to drop on my Kindle.
oh good. Hope you find some new favorites!
It is! Love it when I can discover new-to-me authors.
My pleasure!
I’m sure they all will be great reads.
lol. If it makes you feel better, so am I. I have a few of hers on my Kindle I need to get too.
Being an ARC reader is so fun!
I’m looking forward to that one.
I don’t have a long list of Indie writers just yet but it is growing.
I’m glad! There are so many great Indie writers.
Love on Ice would be my choice!
I don’t read a ton of Indie fiction. I think you and Elizabeth Made get ate the only ones on this lust I have read.
Of course that should have said ‘list’!
All these books sound and look like great reads, I will be adding them to my TBR list for sure! Thank you so much for sharing about them. Have a great weekend and stay safe.
All sound like must reads. Thank you for sharing.
You too, Alicia!
Happy to!
I’m always excited about a new release from Carol Moncado! I have not read most of these authors yet. I will have to add to my TBR.
There are so many good books on this list! I’m really looking forward to Elizabeth Maddrey’s Postcards though, that one sounds really good.
Yay!
So am I!
So many good reads and a lot of new authors for me!
Right now I am looking forward to Love on Ice, then the next one etc etc of the Original 6 series by Carolyn Miller, I know Narelle Atkins has a re-release coming up so looking forward to that.
Postcards looks interesting as I collected them. All look good.
congrats to all with upcoming releases.
(to ask what I plan to read next etc is to assume I actually have a plan which is like asking what I plan to do today I will tell you when the day is over say someone who has planned to mow the lawn for the past 4 days and no its not mowed yet)
PS I finally mowed the lawn with the new mower.
I have not looked into the new books coming out in 2022. I am still working on books from 2021. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
I think the one I would like to read most is ‘His Quiet Serenade’ by Jan Thompson. ‘Princess In Hiding’ also sounds good.
This would be great!!
I’d like a new book for when it’s out
All of these books sound great!
Looking forward to reading them. No particular list for reading 2022 books yet, still reading through previous years books :)
They all sound really adorable and interesting! the covers are very romantic although I also like the violet without any photography!
Hope you discover some favorites!
Lol, yeah I know what books I want to read but if they’re not immediately available I scratch my head trying to figure out what to read.
Blessings to you too!
They do!
:)
Same
Yeah I have some books from ’21 I haven’t read yet.
Same!
So agree!
I’m really looking forward to reading Carolyn Miller’s series! They all sound terrific :-)
Oh, Toni, you’re the best! (And now I REALLY hope you enjoy this series!)
So many books to add to my list. Postcards sounds like such an interesting novel.
Agreed!
I’m sure I will!
I read it recently. It’s phenomenal!
