All of my Year 2022 reads!


Book 1: The Dark Between Stars by Atticus

This was the first poetry book I read, which definitely did not disappoint! After reading this book, Atticus became one of my favourite poets (not that I have anyone else tbh). But it was actually a really perfect book filled with beautiful poetry. It was a great read for sure.






Book 2: The Twisted series by Ana Huang

I read all four of the books in this series, and that is, Twisted Love, Twisted Games, Twisted Hate, and last but not the least, Twisted Lies. Of all four books, my favourite was Twisted Games and my favourite character was, of course, Rhys Larsen. Who could deny the charms of Mr Larsen? Twisted Love was not that good, to be honest, but we of course should not overlook the fact that it was the author's first ever book written, then Twisted Games (as I said) became my favourite, Twisted Hate was a huge disappointment for me and Twisted Love was okay-ish. That pretty much sums up my feelings for the twisted series!

Book 3: Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Ugly love was my first romance book in years. I had heard a lot about CoHo books and it is kind of pretty much famous in TikTokso I had to try it out! But it was okay-ish for me. Kind of (a little bit) disappointing. Because of this, I have still not read one of Colleen Hoover's best-seller It Ends with us. I am afraid, as this was so overhyped, I will feel the same with the other book.

Book 4: Hedon by Priyanka

This one was a good book actually, I really really hated the ending with a passion though. I think the author should have gone with any other ending rather than the one that is in the book. I mean, seriously?? That ending was so bad. The book is actually about a girl who is trying to find herself, even though I thought it would be another romance novel, it definitely was not.




Book 5: Looking for Alaska by John Green

Oh yes, one of my favourite books I read last year. This one is so good, I would gift it to every reader if I could. Definitely, a must-read! (I know I have said it already in my blog) But I don't care if you are a teenager or an adult, you definitely should give this book a try, no matter what's your age.

Book 6: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

 Another good book. Not my top-5 book but definitely worth a read. This book will surely give you some life lessons that will really help you. I had heard a lot about this book from a lot of people, and I thought I should give it a try, and I, for sure don't regret buying and reading this book. Finally, a book that is worth the hype that it got.

Book 7 Illusion of my Life by Muskan Pawar

This one is quite personal. This book is actually written by my best friend so being a good friend I knew I had to read it (even though I had already read it before when it was yet to get published). Sorry not sorry but my name being mentioned in the book was the highlight of the book (lmao). But on a serious note, for a first-time author, this book actually had some solid scenes and dialogues that I never thought Muskan could write. This one is, of course, close to my heart and is definitely going to my Top 10.

  



Book 8: The Tempting of Thomas Carrick by Stephanie Laurens

Oh my god, this was such a bad book. I tried reading it as much as I could but I just couldn't continue reading it. I hate leaving a book in the middle with a passion but this was one of those books that I just could not continue reading. After reading this one, I got the idea that reading old-age books is not my type of thing.




Book 9: All he saw was the girl by Peter Leonard

Another disappointment of a book. Left it in the middle as I couldn't continue reading it. Though, for this one, I do blame my judgement. This book was not what I thought it would be.






Book 10: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

A classic, however, this was so boring that I left this one in the middle as well. I, unfortunately, couldn't continue reading it. I thought that since this is a classic, and so loved by people all over the world, it would be a great read but it wasn't. After this, I think classic books are just not for me.
