Favorite Books of 2022

I knew my reading habits were going to take a dip in medical school but I did not realize how much until I was in it. Luckily, I managed to read 10 books which is just 2 books less than my typical amount. My goal for 2023 is 25 books and I have a plan to make sure that I meet it. Until then, here’s my top 5 favorite reads of 2022 with a short rating and description. Longer reviews are coming soon. Happy reading.

5: How to Walk Away by Katherine Center

Rating: 4/5

Katherine Center was a new author for me and since reading this book, I have read multiple of her books. Her characters come to life and her stories have a depth and realism that I enjoy.

4. Book Lovers by Emily Henry

Rating: 4/5

This book was so fun! I loved the storyline, plot, and chemistry. I am definitely a fan of Emily Henry and will be reading more from her.

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Rating: 4/5

This book is a book of possibilities, what if’s, nostalgia, and the american dream. The immigrant experience is a tough one but it is also a beautiful journey and we see that in this story.

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson

Rating: 4/5

Black Cake was so refreshing. Through multiple POV’s and timelines, we are able to witness a story of love, pain, anger, acceptance, loss, struggle, and more. It made me smile and laugh and tear up. Check out my full review HERE

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

Rating: 4.5/5

I loved this book!! As a women in STEM it was so enjoyable to see the main character go through her journey of academic success and love. This story was nearly everything I want in a romance.
