My Year in Books 2022

This year has not been an easy year for my reading habits and I really did not think I would have completed my reading challenge/book goal this year, so seeing that I have with 16 hours to spare is amazing. In order to achieve this goal, I have had to finish four books in the last 2 weeks, two of these books I have had to start just this week giving me four to five days to read, one of the books was a new one I only started on Tuesday of this week. So I'm sure you can imagine how proud, happy and excited I am.

This year has been so hard because of my first year of A-Levels along with my Advanced Subsidiary exams. This has been hard as much of my life this year has been dedicated to work and revision related to my a-levels meaning I have not found much time to do much reading for pleasure this year. This has been a shame but I expect it to get worse this year with my final A-Level exams around the corner followed by university. I do plan to make the 3 months between the end of A-Levels and the start of university a great period where I will read lots and focus on myself much more, leading to lots of self-improvement.

This year I have had the pleasure of reading so many great books. Some of them I read for pleasure, others I have read Advanced Reader Copy before publication via NetGalley in return for reviews and others I have read as 'homework' primarily from my week of work experience earlier this year. I can safely say that I have been reminded of my love of reading and as a result have in the last few months been reading much more which is great.

I am really looking forward to the start of 2023 with an amazing line of books ready to kickstart my year. I will be reading many books from authors whose work I have never come across before but also I will be revising some of my previous favourites including Amber Royer's books following Felicity on more chocolatey adventures. I have already got 5 books ready to read early next year with many more to come my way so I look forward to starting my 2023 in books and look forward to an even more successful year of reading in 2023.
