My Favorite Books of the Year

Let’s talk about one of my favorite things: books!

This is one of my favorite posts to publish every year because it gives me a good excuse to go back and remember all of my favorite reads from the year.

I read 55 books in 2022. I hit my goal (35) and managed to read just over “one book per week of the year,” which is kinda fun!

Reading gave me a lot this year. It quieted my brain when it needed to calm down, it brought me to different cities and countries filled with characters from different backgrounds, and it helped me facilitate some of my favorite moments of the past year –– aka me sitting on the couch with a book and my cat (Maya!) curled up beside me.

The list you see below are the best of the best (in my opinion) from the gaggle of books I finished this year!

IT’S TIME YET AGAIN, MY FRIEND.

It’s hard to believe that just 365 days ago we were right here, ooh-ing and ahh-ing over yet another chocolate and peanut butter-filled recipe.

As well as 730 days ago.

And 1095 days ago.

AND 1460 days ago.

And just… a lot of other days ago as well.

Sometimes you just want… nay need a cinnamon roll.

Not a whole batch. Not enough to feed a crowd.

One. A single cinnamon roll.

A nice and gooey, warm and fluffy, coated in a thin, crackly icing cinnamon roll.

And that’s why we’re here today, my friend. A vegan cinnamon roll for one.

I’m going to go on record and say that biscotti are fussy lil cookies.

You need to make the dough, bake it in a log, wait for it to cool slightly, slice them into cookies, bake them on one side, flip, bake on the other side.

It’s a lot. A lot of steps.

But let me let you in on a little secret: they’re 100% worth the fuss.
