Most Surprising Books of 2022

December 16, 2022November 25, 2022by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment

These are the 5 books that I either picked up on a whim or had heard some bad things about and I was surprised I actually ended up really liking them!

Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare

I just picked this up on a whim and it was a campy fun time!

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough

That twist at the end!

Book of Night by Holly Black

I didn’t like her Folk of the Air series at all so I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this book!

Slewfoot by Brom

Another book I picked up on a whim that I loved, probably going to be one of my favourites of the year!

One of Us is Dead by Jeneva Rose

Hadn’t heard much feedback about this book but was surprisingly really enjoyable!

Readathons

Buzzwordathon Wrap Up

December 6, 2022November 30, 2022by amyleighreads2 Comments

I figured it would be nice to do a little wrap up of the Buzzword Readathon I’ve been doing throughout the year since I’ve figured out I have completed all the prompts! I didn’t really look ahead throughout the year and see what the next prompt was going to be I would just look at the start of every month and find something on my TBR that matches. There were some months I didn’t get to the prompt but I did read something either before or later in the year that fit so everything worked out. This is such a fun easy readathon that I think I will continue to participate in for sure!
