Year In Review || A Look Back at 2022!

this one is a Labyrinth of Scions and sorcery it is the second book in Curtis credit Trilogy the Risen Kingdom it is just absolutely gorgeous

I discovered him through the first book in that Series in alchemy of mask and mirrors immediately followed up with a science of Labyrinth and sorcery

it's what I would call self-improvement is amazing story of this man that is going to make you take a hard look at yourself but it's going to inspire you to want to be better it's going to make you want to just rewire your whole way of thinking and how you go about life

outside of manga favorite short story collections I have two I couldn't pick between the two one is corpse Honey by Michael J Pico and the other is tribulations by Richard Thomas

love the story but I had to have it in physical format because that book is amazing

favorite book of the year there were so many that came close but just not enough I've never stopped thinking about this book ever since I read it and that is Empire of Silence

fairy tale by Stephen King which I'll kill two birds with one stone and say that was also my most disappointing read I had a lot of people upset with me because I did not like fairy tale

it knocked his other collection that I loved Frankenstein down a peg to number two

the second book heart of the Sun Warrior came out and next month so I got that Reddit not as good as the first one story-wise but the cover

I loved the courage of this author to write this in a different way every time this situation happens in real life it's completely different it never happens this way and I've always wondered why doesn't this happen and I love that this author wrote that oh so good

I am desperately awaiting any mention of book two this was such a fun Thriller murder mystery crime solving it was about a YouTuber who would come and investigate and just work with locals to try and solve cases of course filming it all for their Channel

I'm gonna go with a sort of animal companion and that would be Fuji by A.R Williams The Legend of blackjack I love fuji

that one came out this year and it knocked his other collection that I loved Frankenstein down a peg to number two firmly seating itself in the number one slot

favorite reread of the year no competition for this whatsoever that is Middle game by seanan McGuire

these are authors that I discovered in 2022 read my first book by them not necessarily that they published their first book and I love the book that I read that I went on to read more by that very same author

the book itself the story itself it's literary fiction absolutely amazing love the premise of it was very interesting it was very thought provoking

these are the top favorite covers out of all 185 books that I read this year

I was blown away by this story this is a book that anybody can read everybody should read it had so many lessons and messages in it I can't wait to reread it to see what stands out to me next it was a very violent Thriller I loved it I absolutely loved it

I love the cover I was intrigued by what was happening and then I read the little blurb on the front I was like I gotta read it

both of the stories were just okay for me I saw wasted potential in my opinion in both of those stories so that's why they were my most disappointing reads

I actually thought I might wasn't going to like that series at first but I was in love with one of the characters which drove me to read the rest of the series and I absolutely end up loving it

I didn't think it was that long I mean I loved it I flew through it I guess that's why I didn't feel that long to me

the original cover for this one is amazing it's stunning but holy smokes and it wraps around

so while I started reading it because I wanted to know the identity of this serial killer I was mesmerized by the character development Joseph's cell can just write some characters and just get down into their souls and just bear them

the themes explored here and discussed I again I felt I am a better person for having read this book I cannot wait to reread this book I loved the characters in this book

these are the top favorite covers out of all 185 books that I read this year

I just cannot let this character alone love him there are times when I walk by that book on my shelf and I'll pull it out flipped to one of his chapters just to read it and remember him

outside of manga favorite short story collections I have two I couldn't pick between the two one is corpse Honey by Michael J Pico and the other is tribulations by Richard Thomas

the book The Story backs it up absolutely fantastic read
