Books I Read In 2022 | Part 1

Books I Read In 2022 | Part 1

January 15, 2023 Posted by angelreads Monthly Wrap Up 1 Comment

It’s that time again. For the past few years, I’ve shared all the books I’ve read for the previous year. So, today it’s time to share all the books I read in 2022. I love looking back on the year and seeing what I’ve read. I find it really interesting, especially when I have a year when my reading changes. And while it didn’t change much in 2022, I tried a lot of new romance sub-genres. I’m so excited to share this all with you.

As for the past few years, I have split these series up. This year it will be January-April, May-August, September-December. In 2022 I read 231 books. While not my biggest year. I still read so many books and I kinda love it. 

I’m going to get started right away. Like in 2021, nearly everything I read last year was romance. And a lot of it was indie romance as well. Which just makes my little heart very happy. Nevertheless, let’s get into it. These are the books that I read in January to April 2022.

    You read a nice mix of books in 2022. I liked looking through and seeing some of books I’ve read like Rookie Move, that ST Abby series, etc. I haven’t read that Amy Daws series, but I think I need to this year. I love one of her other series. I hope 2023 treats you as well.

I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’ I had such a great time reading this book. I didn’t know what to expect, but at the same time it was exactly what I wanted.

Driven is an entertaining, suspenseful new adult romance debut that has a second chance romance, is brothers best friend and has fast cars. 

It’s one of those books that is perfect for those looking for something that they won’t want to put down, leave them second guessing and wanting more. 

It’s full of second changes, finding yourself and falling for the one person that is forbidden. 

This is all such a great debut novel that makes me want to read more from Emma J Warrender.
