My Year in Books (2022 edition)

It’s here folks! Here you have it in all its glory – ‘My Year in Books (2022 edition)’ 🥳

2021 was a slow reading year for me. Many life events, challenges and fantastic times came far above and beyond my reading habits which I’m both happy and bummed about. Sometime life happens and that folk, is quite alright 🤗 Yet, in all the messiness …

This year I have:

⭐️ Conducted 5 interviews on my blog with Australia authors whom I admire

⭐️ Interviewed Sulari Gentill in person and organised the book launch for ‘The Woman in the Library’

⭐️ Connected Australian Authors to my book club meetings

⭐️ Started writing my own novel

In 2022 I read a total of 38 books! If you’d like to see my individual ratings for each book, you can jump onto my GoodReads (click here)
