Can you all even believe it's 2022?! The year 2021 was a whirlwind, and I really hope 2022 ain't like 2021 or 2020 but with omicron on the way, yeah..... But once again, this year, I'll be reading books and ignoring the vast amount of problems I'll have.

In September, I went on a total reading spree and finished 33 books which, I am not going to lie, shocked me as well.  I calmed down in October a bit because I had my Term I exams, but I went on a mini-reading spree again with my best friend in November. To get to my main point, I had to edit my Goodreads Reading Challenge a few times. The final Reading Challenge was 150 books, and I am proud to say I moved even beyond that challenge. So in this post, I will be listing my favourite reads of 2021. It's definitely hard to choose a few favourites from 160+ books I have read this year. I consider myself not a very harsh critiq
