14 pop culture events we’re looking forward to in 2023

iHeartRadio DJ Tanya Rad and Raquelle Stevens are helping readers find hope and joy every day with their personal new book, out January 31st. With 100 encouraging readings, The Sunshine Mind may be the secret to a happy and grateful 2023. As Selena Gomez said while writing the foreword, “May this book hit you right where you are and lift you up a little.”

I can’t help it, I live for the drama! Of course, my messy self will be sipping the tea Prince Harry spills in his memoir, Spare. (He may have given up his royal title, but that’s an iconic title for an autobiography!) His publisher promised Harry “raw, unflinching honesty” about his childhood and life in the monarchy, and they also noted that Harry proceeds used von Spare to donate $1.5 million to Sentebale – an organization he founded in 2006 with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho that supports children and youth in southern Africa whose lives are impacted by poverty, inequality and HIV/AIDS are. So can I at least feel a little less guilty for devouring every last word when it releases on January 10th?

To scratch another literary itch, I’m embarrassingly excited for Emily Henry’s upcoming rom-com Happy Place (April 23), the sequel to her tongue-in-cheek Book Lovers, my favorite book of 2022. Basically, if Henry writes it, I’ll be in Passing out and then obnoxiously telling everyone I’ve ever met to read it. (Sorry second grade Sarah, I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon but did you finish Beach Read yet?!)
