The quick annual post showing my overall book reading stats for January - December 2022 is finally here! Just as we are almost a full month into the following year. So much to post, so little time! Anyway, it was a wonderful reading year in 2022 full of fantastic books and reading at least a few pages every single day.
This year I did quarterly update posts sharing what I had read within those three months, my star ratings and highlighting books that stood out to me. You can find those posts all linked below!
Now, I'll let the graphic do most of the talking but to see some extra stats, scroll down!
What I Read Each Quarter
1. January - March
2. April - June
3. July - September
4. October - December
Format
Hardback - 17
Paperback - 33
Kindle - 1
Audiobook - 4
Until sitting down to actually put together those little lists above I had no idea that I'd a) had so many 5 stars, and b) read so many new releases! I only read for pleasure and I rarely force myself to read anything - I can remember DNFing one book about 2 chapters in last year and it went to the charity shop so its rare that anything I do finish ends up being less than 3 stars. I also find myself quite picky when giving out 5 stars and they go to exceptional books only so those that got 4 are still absolutely amazing!
The majority of my reading, as you'll be able to tell, consists of middle-grade, books meant for children and through a quick count I can only spot 4 that don't fit into this category. To me reading is an escape, I want to read about magical lands and mystical adventures, about talking animals and unique people, not depressing, serious adult topics and there are so many fabulous children's authors out there that I will continue that for the rest of my life!
*To choose a top 5 was very difficult and they of course are in no particular order!
There we have it, 2022 in books! Though I beat my goal of 35 and even surpassed what I read the previous year (even if only by 1), my shelves are still full of books I can't wait to get around to. I continue to read every single night in bed, but hope that this year I can try and carve out extra time during most days to read also. I do have quite a few larger books on my 2023 TBR so I have lowered my goal to 21...giving me a fortnight per book so I can prioritize tackling those over 500 pages.
I'm excited to fall into the pages of all these other worlds and as of today I'm already 4 awesome books into my reading year.
