Every Book I Read in 2022
A complete list of every book I read in 2022.
In 2022, I completely abandoned tracking my reading online and opted for a more analogue approach. I tried StoryGraph for a little while, but I decided it just wasn't for me. That's not to knock the platform, I'd recommend it over Goodreads any day. But I wanted to try and incorporate my book tracking in with my journaling habits.
That being said, I quite like how my "Every Book I Read from 2016 to 2021" turned out. Furthermore, I am trying to turn this website into something akin to a public journal, and I think sharing a complete list of books I read is valuable information to record.
As I mentioned in the previous iteration of this post, I got the idea from Lucy Bellwood who shares her annual reading list of books on her website. You can also learn a more about my top reads from my annual list of favourites: "My Favourite Books of 2022".
