✨ My Final Year Reading Update ✨
I saw the tiktok girlies use notion to track their reading list and had to join the #buildareadingjournal tag by @readingbynims on instagram! I used Goodreads to track my reading, scroll down to view my reading wrapped according to Goodreads.

📚Last Book I read this year?
–Enjoying the Show by Marie Harte. I did not like it, no plot just vibes. It is very spicy but just not my cup of tea
📚Favourite 2022 Book?
–Pachinko by Min Jin Lee is my favourite read this year. I loved the writing, dialogue, and characters. Last year it was My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell. I do not think I will ever shut up about how much I love these two books!

📚Least favourite 2022 book to screen adaptations?
–Conversations with Friends. I loved the book but the show was too slow for me and there were so many differences. The way Bobbi found out about Nick and France’s relationship and where are the emails?
