📚 My Favourite Book of the Year: My 2022 Book Bracket! (how do I pick just one 😭)

I think Bliss montage is probably the closest I would say it was probably like a 4.5 there was just one or two stories that didn't hit me the way that the others did

breeding Sweetgrass impacted me in such a profound way that it would be really hard for anything else to beat it out

broken by Jenny Lawson which I absolutely adored sort of like a non-fiction Memoir humor it won the humor category for the Goodreads Choice Awards in 2021 All About Jenny Lawson's experiences with her mental health super relatable super hilarious

out of those three that's gonna be really hard because again three incredible books oh my gosh I don't know oh my gosh this is so hard I love all three of those

all of them are amazing but if I had to pick one favorite I think it would have to be her body and other Parties

I like all of them but again the reason why I gave them four stars and not five is that there was something missing from each of them for me

as much as I really enjoyed Empire of pain I don't know that it would be my favorite read of the entire month although it was very well done that's another non-fiction about the opioid crisis in America

how do I pick a favorite they're all amazing this is the struggle none of those is better than the others truly

monstrous is a graphic novel I am obsessed with it was so good

I would say probably either the yield or on Earth were briefly gorgeous as far as like emotional impact

our wives under the sea is a Sapphic horror that was incredible

I have two Five Star reads from that month slew foot by Brahm and braiding Sweetgrass by Robin kimmerer

as much as I love the characters in sorrowland there are just fewer of them it really focuses on the protagonist and her kids are around but they're not really fully fleshed characters it's so deeply rooted in her perspective which I love

Spirits abroad is short stories based on Malaysian culture

such small hands is up there but it's also very short it's a novella so it's hard for it to compete with a full-length novel

I know a lot of people didn't like the book eaters but it just really worked for me I really liked it and I think it was my favorite in November

the city we became has a bunch of different characters and I love all of them

how do I pick a favorite they're all amazing this is the struggle none of those is better than the others truly

even though I gave the secret history five stars I think that's the first one to drop out of the competition because I really liked it but it didn't hit me emotionally in the same way as some of the other stories

how do I pick a favorite they're all amazing this is the struggle none of those is better than the others truly

the silent companions is a horror novel that I adored

I like all of them but again the reason why I gave them four stars and not five is that there was something missing from each of them for me

the fire next time by James Baldwin was incredible two essays

Vida Nostra also as much as I loved it didn't hit me quite as much emotionally the characters didn't wrote me in quite as much
