I didn’t finish any books in November and I only read two books in December. Because of health issues, I didn’t really read anything until the middle of the month. I did start listening to the ECLIPSE audiobook, but I’m only about halfway through it. I hope I’ll get a chance and want to read more in January. I’m participating in the Bout of Books readathon this week, which hopefully will help jumpstart my year.
My favorite book this month was IN A HOLIDAZE by Christina Lauren. Although, I did also really enjoy THE HUNDREDTH QUEEN by Emily R. King.
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Favorite Books of 2022
I’m so excited for today’s prompt. I’ve been thinking about my favorite books from last year all December. I’ve decided to exclude any rereads from my list. Otherwise, almost my entire list would be old favorites instead new ones. Here are my top ten favorite books from 2022:
Bout of Books is a week-long readathon held every January, May, and August. It’s low-pressure. There are optional reading sprints, Twitter chats, and Instagram challenges.
Bout of Books 36 is here! With everything that’s happened in the last couple of months, my reading has slowed way down. I’m really excited to get my reading on this week and hit 2023 running!
During the week as I participate in Bout of Books, I’ll keep track of my progress on this post. At the end of the week, I’ll post a wrap-up with my totals.
I’ll also be joining in on the Instagram challenge this week. Click here if you’d like to follow me on Instagram .

Feeling
I’m feeling excited because I’m FINALLY done with my blog redesign that I started back in September. I’ve had most of it done for a while. I just needed to update my images to match and I had a lot of them to do. I’m feeling really happy with how it all looks.
Blogging
I had a really good blogging week. I still have a couple of year end posts scheduled to drop this coming week. Here’s what I posted this week:
I started reading THE HUNDREDTH QUEEN by Emily R King. I’m also still listening to the ECLIPSE audiobook and I’m about halfway through now.
Listening
I’ve been listening to a few new-to-me K-pop songs that my friend Suey (It’s All About Books) introduced me to. My favorite’s “ILLELLA” by Mamamoo.
Watching
Corey and I are still making progress with DEXTER. We made it through season 3 and started season 4. I’m still enjoying it a lot. It’s getting even more compelling than it already was.
Loving
I love getting ready for school. I’m anticipating the first day of classes, which is next Monday (January 9). I have all my books ordered. I just need to wait for them to ship. My university doesn’t have a physical bookstore anymore so all book buying’s done online. It’s really convenient AND you have to do it ahead of time so everything arrives by the start of the new semester.
Wanting
I want to wish everyone a happy new year! I hope 2023 is a great year for us all!
Needing
I need to contact my doctor again. Friday morning was my last dose of steroids and my hives are already back.
