The Books I Read in 2022

22 books for 2022! My goal was to read 10 books but I’m including all of my 4 Audiobooks to make it 22! Looks like I am going to have to keep it up and try to read 23 books for 2023! Who is with me? I have so many on my list I am still dying to read so I’m excited to try to reach that goal.

I added a little blurb with each book I read below but remember that books are SO personal. If. I didn’t love a book, that doesn’t mean that you won’t love it so give it a try! And don’t judge me for the spicy ones 🫣

Here’s to reading 23 books in 2023!

(Books listed in order of when I read them)

Clicking on any book image will take you to the book!

Also,I love reading on my Kindle Oasis so much. The Paperwhite is also a great option!

1

The Paper Palace

Really well-written book. Lots of trigger warnings though! So be sure to research that beforehand.
2

The Portrait of a Mirror

A lot of big words. This was a @jackieoshry recommendation that I didn't totally love :/
3

My Lovely Wife

One of my favorite reads of the year. Make sure you read it before the Amazon Limited Series comes out!
4

Reminders of Him

If you can't tell, this is when my Colleen Hoover kick got started for the year haha. This one was really cute! These Colleen Hoovers books are all a little spicy though. Just a heads up!
5

Verity

Trigger warning on every single level! Some people HATE this book. Some people love it.

November 9

Cute concept. They need to make a movie out of this one!
7

Ugly Love

One of my favorite Colleen Hoover's for sure.

Anxious People

Fredrik Backman is an incredible writer. My friend loved this one! It wasn't a favorite for me though.
9

The Family Upstairs

The one was wild! Really interesting story line.
10

Run Rose Run

This one was topping the charts like crazy in April but it wasn't a favorite for me. Predictable from the beginning.
11

Think Link a Monk

Jay Shetty is such an incredible writer and this is one you'll want to order the paperback of so you can highlight it like crazy!
12

The Maid

I do NOT understand what the hype around this book was all about! Truly I don't haha.
13

Malibu Rising

I've really enjoyed Taylor Jenkin Reid's books. This one was cute because there is a June in the book right afer I named June, June :)

Book Lovers

A cute Hallmark feel of a book. Not a favorite but a good escape!
15

The Last Mrs. Parrish

This book was wild! I went into it not knowing anything about it and really liked it.
16

It Happened One Summer

If you're wanting a really sexy, spicy read... here ya go hahaha.

The Hotel Nantucket

A looooong book but you'll be wanting to book a trip to Nantucket right after.

Things We Do In The Dark

I LOVE this author's first book (Little Secrets) and was so excited for this book to come out. I enjoyed it!
19

Behind Closed Doors

This is a spooky one! But a page turner for sure.
20

It Starts with Us

Took everything in me to finish this one...

Nora Goes Off Script

Okay I LOVED this book and think you should listen to it instead of read it! I LOVED the narrator soo much.

A Flicker in the Dark

Absolutely LOVED this one. Scary and great twists and turns.
