Merry Christmas and welcome to my 2022 book haul post!
The funny thing is that I intended to add very few physical books to my shelves this year and managed to keep myself from buying any books for most of 2022 – until my birthday, which is when it all went out the window and now I have a good sized pile of new books after all. Let’s take a look!

Welcome to my annual post discussing my best of shelf picks for 2022! My regular readers will know that I rarely rate a book above 4 stars and even fewer of those make this list. Of the nearly 150 books I’ve read so far this year, I’ve chosen 5 for this list – a much lower number than recent years.
As a reminder of the criteria I use for this list, the book has to be published in the same year, I should have given it a rating of 4 stars or higher, with something that I felt made it stand out over the other books. The titles are actually ranked for a change this year. I usually have a really hard time doing so, but this time, there were some reads that were simply head and shoulders above the rest, so I figured it would be a shame to not rank them. Without further ado, let’s check out my favorite books of 2022!

Hello readers! The holidays are right around the corner and I’ve been working on my winter 2023 TBR. I’ve been extremely picky with my TBR for the next year, because my reading tastes have been changing quite a bit recently and also owing to the ridiculous backlog I’m going to have from this year – hence why there are only 8 books on this list this time around instead of 10. Let’s take a look!

Hello readers, and welcome to my November wrapup! I was still stuck in an on and off reading slump this month, so I decided to stick entirely to mood reading. A good thing too, because where recent months have flown by, November practically crawled by for me and revisiting some old favorites was just the thing to keep my mood up. I’ve also been working on my 2023 TBR, and it should be up closer to the new year. December’s certainly going to be an interesting month given that I’m close to 30 books away from my target for the year, but I’m anticipating a lot of reading time so fingers crossed – I might yet reach my goal! Let’s take a look at my November!
