Mid-Year Round Up

I cannot believe it is June?! What has happened to the year? It’s just flown by, it feels like it was just January. This is going to be a round-up of books I’ve loved so far this year, which is 165 currently. Accordingly, I’m twenty something books ahead of schedule. Go me!!

I’ve had thirteen five star reads this year so far. Shocking! But I’ve found a lot of amazing books. Some of them have reviews on my site, and I’ll link those at the bottom if applicable. In no particular order my five star books of the year so far: (And I’m not counting One Dark Window, since I did reread that in January, but it was my top book of 2022)

Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten
The Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon
Little Thieves by Margaret Owen
Morgan Is My Name by Sophie Keetch
House of Roots and Ruin by Erin A Craig
The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
A Multitude of Dreams by Mara Rutherford
Mysteries of Thorn Manor by Margaret Rogerson

Like I said, there are some amazing ones. I think my favorite of these so far is Fourth Wing. I’m almost sure that’s going to come out on top this year. Although most of the rest come in close seconds. Unshockingly, they’re all fantasy of some sort. Surprise, right? (No, not really) They’re all different types of fantasy though,
