Disappointing Books of 2022

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.

Buzzwordathon Wrap Up

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!
