#Top22of2022

I have loved seeing everyone‘s list of their favorite books of the year. I screenshotted (is that a word?) several and compiled a list from that and other best of lists with different #. These 6 were the ones most frequently mentioned with 12 more getting a few nods each added and another 21 that I can‘t wait to read. TBR explosion! 💥

#JanuaryJazz Day 4: For #TopRead2022, here is my #Top22Of2022 in fiction and poetry. Here‘s my full post: https://wp.me/pDlzr-oWQ

Tagged book hit me deeply - read it on my flight from Amsterdam to Dubai. Here is my review of Nooteboom‘s surreal story that is indelibly etched in my mind: https://wp.me/pDlzr-oKh

Will post in advance for the week since will be traveling back to Dubai in 48 hours or so.

Happy New Year everyone!

How exciting that it‘s time for the first #weeklyforecast of 2023; it means that I can make a start on all those challenges!

Wild Coast covers 3 countries for #readingtheamericas23, and I‘m sure I can find prompts for the other books - hopefully #doubledipping across a few challenges.

I‘m LOVING Violin so far @MicheleinPhilly ;it would probably have made my #top22of2022 had I read it last year.

This was tough…I added and removed books so many times. The top two rows are my top favorites, Top 10 listed in order. Meaning my top book of the year is Lost & Found and The Marriage Portrait my best fiction title.

Happy New Year to my bookish friends in the best corner of the internet! Here‘s to another year of reading! 📖 🥂

Well, what a year it was! A tough one for sure, but I read some really great books this year. It was hard to pick, but here is my #top22of2022. Cheers to 2023!

I put together my #Top22of2022 list last night, but if I remade the graphic today, it may be different! You know how it is. I don‘t the top line would change, though. Those are my top 3 (in no particular order) in fiction and nonfiction. I cheated a little and used both Annie Ernaux books I read as one choice, as I absolutely could not choose between them!

A book I didn‘t know I needed … Meet Gilda: she‘s 28, she‘s an atheist, she‘s queer, she suffers from debilitating anxiety and she works as a church secretary on the sly. Gilda is the new Eleanor Oliphant. A quirky, poignant, insightful sometimes hilarious look at one young woman‘s struggle with mental illness in a real and honest manner. Fantastic debut~ excellent narration. Definitely making my #NewYearWhoDisList 😆
