Happy New Year everyone! Here they are - my top 10 books of 2022, in no particular order. I’ve had a fantastic reading year, 260 books read which I can’t quite believe and the majority of them were absolutely brilliant. We have: Brickmakers- Selva Almada Love After Love - Ingrid Persaud The Mermaid Of Black Conch - Monique Roffey The Count Of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas Devotion - Hannah Kent How To Kill Your Family - Bella Mackie Mayflies - Andrew O’Hagan The Paper Palace - Miranda Cowley Heller Young Mungo - Douglas Stuart The Book Of Form & Emptiness - Ruth Ozeki I’d love to know your thoughts on my selection. It was tough! I’ve read a lot of great books this year and next Saturday I’ll be bringing you my 12 honourable mentions which were all five star reads but didn’t quite make my top ten. See you all in 2023! 🤗😘 #bookstagramuk #booksilovedreading #booksof2022📖 #brickmakers #selvaalmada💕 #loveafterlove #ingridpersaud #themermaidofblackconch #moniqueroffey #thecountofmontecristo #alexandredumas #devotion #hannahkent #howtokillyourfamily #bellamackie #mayflies #andrewohagan #thepaperpalace #mirandacowleyheller #youngmungo #douglasstuart #thebookofformandemptiness #ruthozeki📚#myfavouritebooks2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2HCklLiO2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My top ten (and a bit) books of 2022

My top reads of 2022

Honestly, it’s an impossible task. I tried hard to be ruthless and get down to just 10 books, but in the end, even cutting out some books I really loved, I could not hone it down to just 10. So here are my top 13 books published for the first time in 2022 and at the end, I have selected my top book of the year. The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill by C.S.Robertson Distinctive, compelling,…

What's your tally so far this year? 😜 I always set mine to fifty books overall, because that seems enough 😂 And then I usually surpass it. #kindle #goodreadschallenge #julialewiswrites #juliaclewis #curiosityboughtthebook #booksread #bookish #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booksof2022 #readingtime📖 https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCUjgcrOqY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Books of 2022: "The Paris Apartment" by @lucyfoleyauthor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 **** Thank you HarperCollins for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. Lucy Foley has produced another thrilling mystery that is heartstopping from beginning to end. Not as mysteriou compared to her previous books, but that should not deter mystery fans from picking up this one! This one takes place in the present most of the time while doing a few flashback but it's nice that she went in a different direction with this latest novel. This is also contains social conscious so get ready to read some tough subjects. But do expect the twist and turns that Lucy Foley always delivers in her mystery novels! Look out for a fuller review on my blog! #books #bookstagram #booksof2022 #bookreviews #bookbloggers #mysteries #thrillers #cupofteabooksof2022 #mysteryfans #lucyfoley #suspensefulfiction #theparisapartment #books2022 #ukbooks #britishmysteries #advancecopies #anticipatedreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CZUVMrGrAvU/?utm_medium=tumblr

QOTD: Do you believe in astrology/ destiny/ fortune-teller's tales? I do not believe in astrology but strongly believe in destiny. It is one of the many things that determine the course of one's future. What do you think? And till date I have never been to the fortune-tellers. ~BOOK REVIEW~ "Lose myself in the latest Sophie Kinsella and surface only on Monday morning." These lines take me back to days when I loved watching rom-com. And so the character of Sitara justifies the role of some popular contemporary heroine working as a product manager in a company. On the other hand, Abhimanyu comes into the scene on a higher post, and thus the story kick starts. He believes in astrology and tries to use this to meet her needs in the office. They have ideal chemistry which we generally witness in easy breezy novels. Narrated by Sitara, we know how she feels and how clever she actually is. The kisses, romance, fights, everything spices up their love and thus we see the end coming. If I talk about writing, it's super easy and interesting. A few words in other languages like Hindi and Tamil have also been used. I find this book to be a light read, with contemporary romance and characters. Feel free to pick it up on hard days. . #mastersliterature #writteninthestars #newrelease #bookreviewer #lucknowblogger #lucknowbookstagram #booksof2022 (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYYmjOrLAcT/?utm_medium=tumblr

I'm pleased to be part of cover reveal of a new fantasy romance, Merciless Stars by Candace Robinson. And it is absolutely beautiful. @literarydust @midnighttidepublishing 𝙎𝙮𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙞𝙨- Two sisters. Two loves. And a secret that can destroy them both. For years, Silver has used her magic to draw the same human soul, Keelen, from the afterlife and place him into a wax raven she created. Each visit, her impossible relationship with Keelen deepened, leading Silver to want more than friendship. Yet it isn’t until after Silver and her queen sister, Afton, are forced to defend themselves from an enemy king's guards, that Silver discovers a way to give Keelen human life and become Afton’s weapon. Afton had never given her heart to another … until she met Ragan. Just when it seems she’s found true love, she must temporarily push her feelings aside and accept a betrothal contract from the enemy king to keep her territory safe. But when Afton uncovers a danger that threatens all she has built, the sisters must put a stop to it before everything they love, including their sisterly bond, shatters.

Sometimes things get easier as time goes on. The air gets lighter and it is just easier to breathe , the anxiety that was normal fades. Happiness is no longer just a figment of your imagination but a real feeling that was long forgotten in all the years of pain and unhappiness. I wish I could say this was a story of that and that it wasn’t just a dream, a figment of the imagination. Yet we still carry the hope for such events as if the opportunities hadn’t long since passed. All we have is our family ,our legacy to leave behind. Whomever got in the way was to be removed at any cost. The vision of perfection more important than any real feelings:and personal gain? Off the table. 

Somehow as time went on the spotlight lost its intimidation as did my father.After all who could be scared when you were raised to believe you were untouchable , while everyone outside of this charade were disposable.In The last however many years my father had reached an indestructible mindset and lifestyle. As if he were superman but had no kryptonite because his family was as untouchable as he was. 

Sometimes children are oblivious to the weakness of their fathers. Most would think that we were too because they never saw any weakness from him so how would we? He had faced death so many times that his reaction made it seem like a normal event that would never actually catch up with him. Gunshot to the arm?  Yeah No problem ,no pain and not a moment of hesitation to remove the obstacle 

What did he do with this strength? He Raised 3 boys to be men as mighty and powerful as himself. Along with a girl who knew the power she possessed in this testosterone filled empire. The need for perfection and no weakness being put into their heads everyday for years.

Now here I am fully grown fighting for my spot in this circus.

When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill is one of my most intriguing books hauled so far this week. . If you were to write this story (see blurb below), what would you have had women turned into? . Dragons are always good. Or maybe something more exotic like Phoenixes. . Book Blurb: . A rollicking feminist tale set in 1950s America where thousands of women have spontaneously transformed into dragons, exploding notions of a woman’s place in the world and expanding minds about accepting others for who they really are. • The first adult novel by the Newbery award-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon . Alex Green is a young girl in a world much like ours, except for its most seminal event: the Mass Dragoning of 1955, when hundreds of thousands of ordinary wives and mothers sprouted wings, scales, and talons; left a trail of fiery destruction in their path; and took to the skies. Was it their choice? What will become of those left behind? Why did Alex’s beloved aunt Marla transform but her mother did not? Alex doesn’t know. It’s taboo to speak of. . Forced into silence, Alex nevertheless must face the consequences of this astonishing event: a mother more protective than ever; an absentee father; the upsetting insistence that her aunt never even existed; and watching her beloved cousin Bea become dangerously obsessed with the forbidden. . In this timely and timeless speculative novel, award-winning author Kelly Barnhill boldly explores rage, memory, and the tyranny of forced limitations. When Women Were Dragons exposes a world that wants to keep women small—their lives and their prospects—and examines what happens when they rise en masse and take up the space they deserve. . . . . #allthebooksapril22 #whenwomenweredragons #kellybarnhill #doubledaybooks #doubleday #netgalley #netgalleyreads #netgalleyreviewer #netgalleyarc #netgalleyreader #bookdragon #bookdragons #tessatalksbooks #bookblogger #bookbloggersofinstagram #bookbloggersofig #bookbloggerlife #bookbloggershub #fantasy #fantasybooks #historicalfiction #womenempowerment #bookandflowers #beautifulbooks #beautifulcover #bookrecommendations #bibliophile #bibliophilelife #booklover #booksof2022 (at Lake Davidson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcBOJmUrop8/?utm_medium=tumblr

QOTD: How excited you are for 2022? What is the thing you definitely want to achieve this year? I am having a lot of expectations from this year, and i.a. I aspire to do a lot of things. Corona has become a thing for the past 2 years and it's the new normal. So, we need to understand that life has taken its different turns for all. 😘 Okay, with this rant I want to begin the first review of this year, and it's soo relatable to me. ~BOOK REVIEW~ "You are responsible for your own learning and growth. You can build systems that can enhance your progress..." So many success logics and mantras have re-iterated again and again around us. But what actually makes a difference is ones own will to make a difference. Shalini Prakash in her book Clueless At 30 tells us that it is completely okay to be clueless in life at times. Not everyone has a direction to move on, and not everyone has the same definition of success. People like me feel that this book came into existence for us, who all are about to enter into our 30s soon. This book is divided into four sections and did justice to each chapter by giving a lot of examples, references and stories to make the logic clear. Writing from personal experiences, the author makes sure to generalise everything in a very unique and humorous manner. One would never get bored while reading this book. The chapters also have unique names like, Wear your sassy pants or Ghosts are liers. I like the writing style, which is humorous, effective and at the same time makes a lot of sense to the readers. At times it felt as if the author is sitting just beside you and telling things. Highly recommended to one and all, even if you are in your 30s or not. . @shaliniprakash13 @rupa_publications @booxoul . #mastersliterature#mastersliteraturereviews#mastersliteraturereads#mastersliteraturebookpromotions#lucknowblogger#lucknowbookstagram#indianbookstagram#indianbookstagrammer#booksof2022#bookwormaesthetics#readforlifesake#cluelessat30#non-fiction (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYVloZUIl9J/?utm_medium=tumblr
