The numbers are in! My Year in Books for 2022 was 42 total books read! I had pledged to read 30 titles and hit that goal back in the summer. Anything after that was just the cherry on top!

Of those 42 books, I gave the following star ratings:

⭐️: 1

⭐️⭐️: 6

⭐️⭐️⭐️: 7

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️:  15

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: 12

And one book I didn't rate because it was more of a special interest book vs a novel. For full disclosure, I loved it.

These were my 5-star winners. Highly recommend!

DNF:

I actually stopped reading a couple of books because they were getting on my nerves. I can only tolerate so much character discrepancies or poor writing. My reading time is valuable and I can't mess around with "bad" books. And this is even more "telling", I cannot for the life of me even remember what books I dropped. Unmemorable in every way, ha.

Because I know my opinions are subjective, I share these lightly and only as a way to keep track of my reading habits. BUT if you want to persuade me otherwise, I'm open to a book discussion any time!

Have you read any good books lately? I'm always looking to add to my Want to Read shelf!
