Books I Read in 2022: Part 2!

 I stand corrected--Goodreads is kinder than I thought and they DID do a special chart of my books for the year even though I didn't reach my reading goal! I got a special chart after all, woo-hoo! 🏆

Note their encouraging little note at the bottom: "Better luck in 2023" 😆 I wholeheartedly agree!

Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl

My first review of the year

liked it
This was entertaining and fun to read. I especially liked reading about her experiences at the NYC restaurants that I've been to. She was funny and smart, but I thought she came across as egotistical at times and not always very introspective. But the main problem with this book is that every time I read it, it made me hungry! ...more

From the Charred Remains by Susanna Calkins

My last review of the year

really liked it
Good historical fiction mystery with a satisfying ending and other good plot elements (well-developed characters, relationships, historical details, etc.). I liked that it's set in 1600s London in the immediate aftermath of the Great Fire and before that the Plague. ...more
