Hello, book lovelies!
This is my last newsletter of 2022, and in true end-of-the-year fashion, I have decided to share with you the list of my top 10 favorite books I’ve read this year. 2022 was a big year for me, mainly because I became a parent. I really had no idea what my free time would look like after my daughter was born. I mentally prepared myself that I may only read 10 books this whole year, eight of which I read before she was born. I’m happy to report that I actually snuck in quite a bit of reading time during naps and after bedtime. I traveled to the streets of Italy with Stanley Tucci, hit the U.S. Open tennis courts with Carrie Soto, and ate my way through France with Julia Child, all while not leaving my house. Below you will find a list of my 10 favorite reads of 2022 in no particular order.
