This has been a fun week of looking back on my favorites of 2022 and I certainly can't wait to see what 2023 has in store. 

Julie's Top 2022 Audiobooks

In 2022 I listened to 38 audiobooks and enjoyed each one,  but the list below are the ones that stood out for me. With audiobooks I try to find books that have been on my shelf for a while but I also couldn't resist newer releases. I'm pretty sure that this is the first year I've listened to that many! They also helped me reach my 2022 Goodreads Reading Challenge goal of 112!

What did you listen to in 2022? Anything I should add to my 2023 list?

Julie's 2022 Cream of the Crop

2022 was definitely a great year for books. I mean I did read/listen to 112, which is a personal record. Over the next couple days you will see my best of lists. I hope your 2022 reading year was as fantastic as mine. 

Looking forward to what 2023 has in store for reading!

Backlisted Books!! I'm going to read based on my mood before I start my January reads!

Yay, my reading groove is back!! It took me far too long to read Love & Other Words because I was just so wiped out but I am getting my energy back! One last work week for 2022, which I'm hoping it'll be a bit quiet. 

Hope you all have a wonderful week and a special Holiday season!

Boy has reading sure been slow! I thought I'd whip through books while on a short medical leave, nope. I only have energy for tv and movies. I go back to work on Monday, which I am looking forward to. My plan for December is to read some books I didn't get to this year and get started on my 2023 reads.
