Books I Read in 2022

After creating my previous list, which logs every book I read from 2016 to 2021, I decided to do the same for all the books I read in 2022.

The original idea to do this came from Lucy Bellwood. I mimicked her annual reading list of books for my own site.

You can also learn more about my top reads from my annual list of favourites: My Favourite Books of 2022.
