Olivie Blake – Amy Leigh Reads

Worst Books of 2022

December 28, 2022November 30, 2022by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment

These are the books that I just didn’t quite enjoy this year! I definitely tried to be more honest with my reviews and give more 1 and 2 stars if I wasn’t all that into a book rather than just giving it a three like I usually would. I definitely didn’t actively hate any of these book they just weren’t my style and taste!

Disappointing Books of 2022

December 9, 2022November 25, 2022by amyleighreads4 Comments

This is five books I read this year that disappointed me for one reason or another. These aren’t necessarily books I hated, I just might have been underwhelmed by them or they didn’t live up to the hype.

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake

I had high expectations because of how hyped this book was but it was sooo boring!

Cytonic by Brandon Sanderson

This felt like a filler book in this series, I liked the novellas better!

Daughter of the Siren Queen by Tricia Levenseller

I still liked this book but I thought it was going to be even better than the first and it wasn’t.

Well Matched by Jen DeLuca

I was expecting so much more this was slow and not spicy enough for me!

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune

Wasn’t bad but everything you think is going to happen happens.

Goodreads Choice Awards Best Fantasy

November 24, 2022November 23, 2022by amyleighreadsLeave a Comment

Every year it seems that I’ve read less and less of the nominees for the Goodreads Choice Awards in the fantasy categories even though it is my favourite genre. This year in the adult category I’ve read 3 of the 20 which makes sense since I haven’t been prioritizing a lot of the fantasy books on my TBR which I want to change in the coming year. I think in the next month I want to try and get to at least two more of the nominees that are on my TBR and I would love to try and complete at least the top 10 books that are announced next year!
