Reading Wrap Up 2022

Townsfolk and Tourists,

It is finally time to piece together this chonky year in review!

My goal for 2022 was to read 125 books. I managed 99 and I’m comfortable with that number. I DNF’d more than ever this year as I tried to find my way out of a horrible reading rut and still managed to read 10 more books than 2021!

Favorite Quotes:

“It sounds sketchy. Like he’s trying to lure me to a secondary location to traffic me to people who’ll harvest my femurs to make handles for badminton racquets.”
Bee, Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
“Oshinko, no!” Steph dashed in and knelt at the side of the body pillow. “You’re too barely legal to die!” –

2022 Graphs

I am fairly consistent with my reading “moods.” I tend to prefer lighthearted, funny, adventurous, mysterious reads. This year I picked up more dark romance, true crime, and informative non-fiction (psychology) books.

As you can see, I stayed true to romance, contemporary and historical, this year . Fantasy and Science Fiction continue to creep up the rankings and I suspect that trend will continue.

Its no surprise to me that Ali Hazelwood is number one on Authors I spent the most time with. I binged her entire backlist and then hopped on the new release train. Wells is always in the top since rereading Murderbot is my happy place. Katee Robert eeked in at two books this year tying with Chloe Liese and a few other talented writers!

I felt like I rated a lot of books in the mid-range this year but I was pleasantly surprised to see a hefty number of 4 stars! Mr. B always teases that I am too stingy with 5 stars and I can think of at least two books that probably deserve 5 stars… but I’ll let the original ratings stand for now.
