Let’s Talk Bookish – 2022 Reading & Blogging Reflections

Let’s Talk Bookish is a Friday post, created by Rukky @ Eternity Books and hosted by Aria @ Book Nook Bits, where we discuss a prompt about Bookish topics.

Since this week’s topic is about 2022 Reading and Blogging Reflections. This week’s topic was chosen by Aria @ Book Nook Bits.

I’m going to have an in-depth year-end post so this one is going to be simple, without lots of details!

How many books did you read in 2022?

As of this post (on the 30th), I’m sitting at 98 books read in 2022. I might try to cram two more short ones in by midnight tomorrow though!

Did you meet your reading goals?

I started a new job at the end of 2021, so my goal for 2022 was reduced by about 25 books to only 80. I found I was able to listen to audiobooks at work so I exceeded this goal in November!

What were some of your favorites?

I had a bunch of favorites from this year! A couple are Empire of Silence, The Terror, and Ali Hazelwood’s STEMinist books!

What were your least favorite books you read this year?

Thankfully, it wasn’t a year with a lot of least faves, but I tried a couple Brandon Sanderson novellas that I just really did not like. It was such a shame because I absolutely love Stormlight Archives!

How did you feel about your blogging in 2022?

I just started blogging in August, so it’s been a short journey. So far its been fun and interesting!

What are your favorite posts you wrote in 2022?

Can I say all of them?

What are some of your favorite posts from the community that you read this year?

I follow quite a few wonderful bloggers but I don’t really track which posts I like of theirs the most. So, I think I’ll just share a few of my favorite blogs instead, because all of their posts are pretty amazing!

Leah’s Books – Book blog
A Dad trying to cope with the lost of his Partner and becoming a single parent. – Life blog about a widowed dad and his son

It’s been a great year and I cannot wait to get 2023 started! I hope you all have a wonderful New Years and a safe and happy weekend!
