Welcome to my top 10 of 2022!
Today’s post is about my ten favorite books of the year. It’s a nice mix of romance, fantasy and nonfiction. I also added in some quotes!
—
The Love Hypothesis | Payback’s a Witch
“I’m starting to wonder if this is what being in love is. Being okay with ripping yourself to shreds, so the other person can stay whole.”
— The Love Hypothesis
A Coin for the Ferryman | A Shadow in the Ember
“I want to kiss you, even though there is no reason for me to other than I want it.” The heated intensity of his stare held mine. “I would even go as far as to say I need to.”
— A Shadow in the Ember
The War That Made the Roman Empire | Cruel Summer
“History is full of examples of generals done in by their own blind spots: from a willingness of the Persian fleet to sail into the Greek’s trap in the Salamis straits; to the legions that marched into Arminius’s ambush in the Teutoburg Forest; to the American warships and airplanes that were easy pickings for the Japanese attackers at Pearl harbor.”
— The War That Made the Roman Empire
“Monsters are more effective than princes when it comes to keeping what you care about safe.”
— Wicked Beauty
The Unbreakable Bladesong Druid | How the Wallflower Was Won
“He’d never wanted to be seen as much as he did at that moment, while at the same time, he feared what might happen if she could see down into the soul of him, who he truly was. A restless, trembling yearning ached in his heart, wanting so much from her, but afraid of the thing he most desired.”
— How the Wallflower Was Won
What do you think of my top 10? Have you read any of them?
You have read from such a variety of genres! I still need to read The Love Hypothesis and every time I see it I am kicking myself for not having it read it yet. I hope that 2023 has some great reads in store for you as well, Stephanie! 🙂
That’s how I felt about The Love Hypothesis, kicking myself for not having read it and when I did I was SO happy with it. Hopefully you can read it in 2023!
This is such a well rounded list! And I was pretty sure one of Annette Marie’s books would be on here😁
I put in The Unbreakable Bladesong Druid last minute because I had already drafted this post but then I finished that book and it was sooooo amazing!
I just read one of the sequels to Payback is a Witch and now I have to go and read it!. Great list here, Stephanie!
I was surprised by how much I ended up loving Payback’s a Witch and hope to read the sequels all next year 😀
I haven’t read any of these, but I love all the variety!
I love that people are noticing the variety haha 😀
Such a great list! Of course I love The Unbreakable Bladesong Druid, but also yay for Wicked Beauty and The Love Hypothesis 😀
I loved A Shadow in the Ember ad the Love Hypothesis too!
