Happy New Year everyone! 😀
December was a brilliant bookish month for me. I got through 18 books in December, I read 7 and listened to 11! I read/listened to 148 books for the whole of 2022, the most I’ve read since starting this blog back in 2016. I haven’t been reviewing so many, probably because I haven’t been reading so many ARCs, so I haven’t felt the pressure to review everything, which has made blogging more enjoyable. 😀
Favourite Audiobooks
Out of the 11 audiobooks I listened to these were my absolute favourites.
Other Favourites
I read some fab books, but my standout favourites were definitely these two!
How was your December? Did you come across any good books?

I’m stepping away from blog tours (and netgalley!) this year to concentrate on my own books and without the pressure of reading / reviewing by a certain date. So I may also review less, but enjoy it more – that’s the plan, at least! 😀

You had an excellent month. Not reviewing every book you read definitely takes the pressure off. I know I enjoy that with the books I buy and read because I make them review optional. It’s so freeing!

Happy New Year, Nicki! 🥂🍾🎉 I try to review all the books I read, although my reviews are not as detailed as many others. Some I am just reviewing on Goodreads these days. Have a wonderful year in all aspects of your life in 2023.
