And here we go. This is the last part of my yearly wrap-up for 2022. I’ve had such a great time doing this series. And I’m sad it’s coming to an end but I can’t wait to do it again next year.
Over the past few years, I’ve shared all my reads for the year. So today it’s the third part of my 2022 reads. You can check out what I read from January to April 2022, and May To August 2022. Today is all about the books I read in September to December.
So let’s get into it. Like in 2021, nearly everything I read last year is undoubtedly 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 from September to December 2022.

And there we go! That is now everything I read in 2022. While I didn’t read a whole lot towards the end of the year, I had some fantastic reads.
What did you read in 2022? Did you reach your reading goal? What were your favourite reads of 2022? What are you planning to read this year? Nevertheless, let’s chat!
It’s time for another book tag. It has been a while since I have done one of these and what better day to do the summer reading tag than today? If you don’t know already I live in Australia and it’s definitely hit summer at the moment. It’s quite warm let’s just saw that. This tag was created by Amy Jane Reads. However, the video is no longer active and I found the tag over at Zezee With Books.
I have a love-hate relationship with summer. I love it because I like to swim and go to the beach. But also it does get quite hot here in Melbourne. I didn’t end up doing the whole tag as some questions I didn’t know how to answer some, but let’s get right into the tag.
WHAT THREE BOOKS DO YOU WANT TO READ THIS SUMMER?
There are so many books that I want to read in the next few months. So many. But some of the books on my tbr that I want to at least try and read are; A Deal with the Elf King by Elisa Kova, Wicked Beauty (Dark Olympus #3) by Katee Robert and Midnight Kisses by Jeanine Bennedict.
WHICH CHARACTER MOST EMBODIES THE TRAITS OF SUMMER?
This was such a hard one for me to pick. I really don’t know. So instead I picked a few books that I have loved that covers remind me of summer. Heartless(Chestnut Springs #2) by Elsie Silver, Laurels and Liquor (Pack Saint Clair #3) by Thora Woods. Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road #1) by Katie McGarry and For Vacation Only by Mila Nicks.
WHAT BOOK/S DO YOU MOST ASSOCIATE WITH THE PHYSICALITY OF SUMMER?
Again this is such a hard question. And I did have to do some digging. But firstly Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes stands out to me. Tennis and Summer are just the pair for me. Plus this book was fantastic. The second one is Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas. Not only is it one of my favourites but it just reminds me of summer nights.
WHAT KIND OF BOOKS DO YOU LIKE TO READ ON HOLIDAY? ANY BOOKS THAT HOLD MEMORIES TO CERTAIN PLACES?
I honestly will read anything on holidays. I’m a mood reader through and through. So I could read something that will make me call my eyes out on a holiday. But I do tend to feel like reading more on the contemporary side of romances during the summer and when I am away on holiday. They are just easy to read. I can go back and forth without having to remember everything.
Some of the books I have read or would love to read again in summer; Luna and the Lie by Mariana Zapata, Focused (Ward Sisters #1) by Karla Sorensen. Rookie Move (Brooklyn Bruisers #1) by Sarina Bowen and In the Weeds (Lovelight #2) by B.K. Borison.
IF YOU COULD GO ON HOLIDAY WITH ANY AUTHOR, WHO WOULD YOU GO WITH AND WHERE? WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO KNOW?
Ohhh. This is just such an interesting one. But I would love to go on a holiday with Cassandra Clare. She has gone to so many magical places and I would love for her to take me on those journeys that she has gone on. I don’t even care where we go.
And there we go! That is the summer reading tag. I had a lot of fun doing this tag and it was a fantastic way to celebrate a hot summer day. What would your answers be? Do you like summer? If you want to do this tag, let me know! Let’s chat!
