Year in Review: Staying In (Books Read in 2022)

[tamaranth]

See them all on LibraryThing or on Goodreads
* 164 books: 159 on Kindle, a couple of audiobooks (which cemented my view that I don't much like audiobooks), a couple of scanned books on Internet Archive
* 116 by female writers, 45 by male writers (some collaborations, not all books tagged)
* 9 rereads

My categorisations (some books will have more than one of these tags: my tagging is not consistent and I'm not 100% confident of search results):
* 62 fantasy, 18 SF, 41 historical (predominantly 19th / 20th century: only a couple of novels set in WW1 or WW2, so that's a change from last year)
* 21 romance (majority non-het romance)
* 19 YA/children's
* 19 non-fiction

My reading challenges:
* 52 books in 52 weeks (managed 51: this challenge has some prompts very much skewed towards physical books, and I defaulted on 'chosen because of its spine', as all Kindle book spines look the same)
* Annual Non-Fiction Challenge (read all 12!)

Best five:
* Summer - Ali Smith
* The Half-Life of Valery K - Natasha Pulley
* The Golden Enclaves - Naomi Novik
* Hench - Natalie Zina Walschots
* Base Notes - Lara Elena Donnelly
