I read 60 books in 2022. Not as many as I would have liked, but life got in the way! 3 were non-fiction, again, not as many as I would have liked. There are 19 books that I rated as either very good or excellent that I read in 2022:
Northernmost-Peter Geye
Tell the Bees that I Am Gone-Diane Gabaldon
Lost Boy Found-Kirsten Alexander
The Secret Scripture-Sebastian Barry
The Sweetness of Water-Nathan Harris
Florence Adler Swims Forever-Rachel Beanland
The Yellow Wife-Sadeqa Johnson
Grace-t. Greenwood
The Personal Librarian
Remarkably Bright Creatures-Shelby Van Pelt
Once There Were Wolves-Charlotte McConaghy
The Lost Girls of Willowbrook-Ellen Marie Wiseman
The Hour of the Witch-Chris Bohjalian
The Tide Between Us-Olive Collins
Lucy By The Sea-Elizabeth Strout
A Thousand Moons-Sebastian Barry
The Winners-Fredrik Backman
These were all good books! I would recommend any of them!
However, moving on to my top 12 of the list:
Northernmost-Peter Geye
Tell the Bees that I Am Gone-Diane Gabaldon
Lost Boy Found-Kirsten Alexander
The Secret Scripture-Sebastian Barry
The Sweetness of Water-Nathan Harris
Remarkably Bright Creatures-Shelby Van Pelt
The Hour of the Witch-Chris Bohjalian
Lucy By The Sea-Elizabeth Strout
A Thousand Moons-Sebastian Barry
The Haven-Emma Donoghue
And now it starts getting hard. Narrowing the list down to my top 5 meant taking off The Winners, which I really loved! But here's what's left:
Northernmost-Peter Geye
The Secret Scripture-Sebastian Barry
The Sweetness of Water-Nathan Harris
Remarkably Bright Creatures-Shelby Van Pelt
Lucy By The Sea-Elizabeth Strout
Now it's easy though! Even though I loved each of the above books, one stands out for me as my very favorite:
Lucy By The Sea-Elizabeth Strout
I hope to read more in 2023 and hope that I have as many good reads as 2022! Happy reading in the New Year!
