What are your favourite books that you read in 2022?
First of all, thank you to anyone who is still following me/reading this! I’m hoping that my unplanned blogging hiatus has come to an end and that I can find a new schedule and balance. I’m not sure how much time, and more importantly energy, I will have once I return to work, but I don’t want to let go of blogging just yet.
So these are the books that really made a mark for me this year. Special mention goes to the Agatha Raisin series, by M.C. Beeton, which I am currently reading via my library app.
The Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Terry Pratchett’s “Tiffany Aching” series-within-a-series. These five books make up an amazing adventure, though reading The Shepherd’s Crown was very poignant as it was Terry Pratchett’s final book.
I love the way this story so accurately describes the pros and cons of small town living. The characters do sound totally endearing and I can totally see getting lost in this world. Excellent review, Jo!

It was right above yours in reader but I’m still not sure how it happened 😂😂. WP is just trying to keep me on my toes.

So, now my response to your post!
Work has been making blogging more challenging for me to, lately, so I totally get it. These are wonderful choices for 2022 favorites, especially Klune – I remember how much you enjoyed those books.

I put a lot of pressure on myelf to reply to comments quickly, visit other blogs and comment and like posts etc. When I miss a couple of days I then feel so overwhelmed it feels easier to stay away. I need to set aside fixed times to do those jobs and be kinder to myself if I don’t have the time to get them done.

You’re back!!! I also enjoyed The Christmas Wish. Time loops are used a lot, so it can be tricky to keep it fresh. I thought Kelk did a great job with it

My only wish would have been to have read it closer to Christmas but it was a Netgalley arc.

Glad to see you back. You’ve been missed. It’s quite often hard to find a good balance between what we enjoy and want to do with our responsibilities. I hope you’re able to find that balance when work starts back up.

Thank you. I probably need to make a schedule for blog hopping, commenting, replying etc too, that way I will hopefully not feel too overwhelmed with things to do.

Blogging hiatuses are always rough. I’m glad you’re back, though. I hope you continued to move forward. 😀 I’m glad you had so many books that you enjoyed as much as you did! Hopefully, 2023 will be just as great!

I need to be content with posting only a couple of times a week and not try to do more than I have time for. Hope you have a good 2023 too!
