Books I read In 2022

2022 was the year of reading! I READ THIRTY BOOKS! I finally got a Libby account and was able to listen to more than a book a month!! Also I made book friends on twitter and we bounced recommendations off of each other.

My absolute top three of the year –

The Grace Year – Kim Liggett. Handmaid’s Tale but Ya. It was a bit of slog at first because there’s this permeating sense of dread throughout most of the book, but it was worth it.

A Wizard’s Guide To Defensive Baking – T. Kingfisher. This was a quick read and very easy to emphasize with the main character, she’s hilarious and I love her.

The Witch’s Heart – Genevieve Gornichec. If you enjoyed Madeline Miller’s Circe, this one is for you. A story about the giantess who fell in love with Loki the trickster.

Books I read In 2018

2018 was the year I really used my Overdrive and Audible accounts, since I did a lot of inking and sewing – 1 month 3 days and 3 hours worth of narrating, to be exact. Here’s what I read this year:

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemison
Iron Gold by Pierce Brown
The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemison
The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemison
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwoof
Borne by Jeff VanderMeer
Circe by Madeline Miller
The Man In The High Castle by Philip K. Dick
The Song Of Achilles by Madeline Miller
Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Hyperion by Dan Simmons
The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons
Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone
Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban
Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince

I never really got into the Harry Potter series growing up, so “discovering” it in my thirties was really… Like a sort of rapture? I ended up using up all of leftover credits and having to buy more, and now I’m waiting with bated breath for my new credit to unlock so that I can listen to Deathly Hallows…

Here’s to more reading in 2019!!!
