Continue readingHello readers, and welcome to Mini Reviews, where I talk about some of the books I don’t write full length reviews for. This installment is a little different, since all the reviews are for ARCs I received last year that I haven’t yet reviewed and I’ll be discussing The Secret Society of Salzburg, Seoulmates and Nubia: The Awakening.

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!

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.

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!
