Hi, Reader. Is it still acceptable to say Happy New Year? I hope you have had a great start to your year and have some good books lined up. Today I want to add to your reading list by sharing 18 of my 5 star reads of 2022. This is a list of books I read and didn’t want to end. They are brilliant on their own right and ones I feel like everyone should read. Some if not all of them.

This is a listicle of 18 books. I will link reviews of those I have reviewed and share a word or two, and/or a sentence to those I haven’t reviewed yet. The list is in order on how I read them from January to December
