Looking for a reading recommendation? These are the titles and authors of the books I read (or listened to) in 2022. 41 books! 10 more than last year! I mostly read women's fiction, Young Adult/Middle Grade fiction and the occasional memoir or business book. I hope you find something on the list that appeals to you! Happy reading!

P.S. You can check out my archived lists from 2019, 2020 and 2021 too!

P.P.S. If you see FCF listed after a title, it means that you can listen to the first chapter for free on my YouTube channel! You’re welcome! :)
