2022 Goodreads Year in Review

I know I took a bit of a break in the end of 2022, but such is the life of a retail worker. And honestly, I was so busy, I wasn’t reading as much as normal, so you didn’t miss much. But I still want to share all about how my reading went in 2022 and what I’m looking forward to in 2023. So hang around for thew next few weeks to see what’s in store at Life of a Literary Nerd. 

First Lines Fridays #132

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

• Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
• Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
• Finally… reveal the book!

2022 Mid Year Book Freak-Out Tag

I love this tag because it’s fun to look back on what you’ve read so far in the year – and I can’t believe I’ve already completely forgotten about some of the books I’ve read.  I’m going to try and not repeat books so many have the time to shine.

You can check out the past times I’ve done this tag in 2017, 2018, 2020, & 2021.

2021 Goodreads Year in Review

I know most people have finished up their 2021 wrap-up posts, but I always wait until the year is completely over because you never know if your last year of the year is going to become a new favorite! So I’m starting off my wrap-up with some stats from Goodreads before making my tags and lists!
