2022 wasn’t a great year for me and books. Where I used to knock out dozens per year, somehow I only read 7.
Regardless, here were my favorite #BooksOf2022:
- The Shadow Murders by Jussi Adler-Olsen
- How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t with Your Kids by Carla Naumburg
- Knife by Jo Nesbø
Read 52 books this year — an average of a book a week. Tag yourself (jk that’s not a thing here…right?) #BooksOf2022
The comfort that I can always ask for…Books, Books & Books! Every time I turn a page, it’s the beginning of another adventure. I don’t know how to thank these fifty authors (as well as the other 68 books I’ve read this year), but here they are…#BooksOf2022 📚#BestBooksOf2022📚

Last recap of the year with books that I didn’t read as part of a reading challenge. Favourites of 2022:
1- Facing the Mountain by Daniel James Brown about Japanese-American families during WWII.
2- The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher on the impact that social media ruled by algorithms has on society.
3- オレたちバブル入行組 by Jun Ikeido (池井戸潤), the first novel of the Naoki Hanzawa series, so good!
4- 希望の糸 by Keigo Higashino (東野圭吾), the latest book in the Kyoichiro Kaga series ❤️.

My year in books. Honestly think I read more than this but forgot to keep track of a few @bookstodon #booksof2022
I wanted to do a #BlogPost about the books I’ve enjoyed in 2022 that haven’t really got that much love!
I think they need to be on everyone’s book shelf 💖✨

Confession: It was my 3rd or 4th attempt at Ulysses, but I didn't finish it. Again. (Yes, I have tried listening to the audiobook). I appreciate Joyce's intelligence and creative prowess, but he rubs me the wrong way, personally. I was pleased to read that Hemingway got about as far as I did with Ulysses. And Virginia Woolf hated it. If I have to read a difficult modernist doorstop, give me Proust any day of the week.
Other reading habits (I've been asked): I read as early in the day as possible and aim for 50 pages a day. I diversify authors & genres. To be honest, after about 60 books, I started to flag and even easy texts required greater efforts of concentration.
I read every single one of these 68 books while walking/jogging.
It might be an #ADHD thing. If I give my body something to do while I'm reading, I get distracted far less and can focus for longer. Before I worked this out, I could only get through a handful of books per year.
I only broke a toe once whilst reading/jogging.
Year highlight: The complete prose of W.G. Sebald. If I have to pick just one: Austerlitz.
🧵 2022 book roundup.
68 #books read.
Books not featured in the photo (read on Kindle):
The Road (Cormac McCarthy).
Hallucinations (Oliver Sacks).
The Nose & other stories (Nikolai Gogol).
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (M. R. James).
Nothing is True & Everything is Possible: Adventures in Modern Russia (Peter Pomerantsev)
This year, I started the project to read the winners of the Mystery Writers of Japan Award, a prize that honours the best in crime fiction.
I managed to read 18 books, mostly from the 60s and 70s.
I didn’t like all of them, but overall it’s a very good experience. The ones that really stand out to me are the first two winners for long fiction:
- 本陣殺人事件 (honjin satsujin jiken) by Seishi Yokomizo (横溝正史).
- 不連続殺人事件 (furenzoku satsujin jiken) by Ango Sakaguchi (坂口安吾).
Okay, I'm going to be bold and forthright here. I think Cold Fish Soup is worthy of your book token/Amazon voucher/that money your nan gave you for Christmas. You can buy it here https://linktr.ee/adamjfarrer or from your favourite book shop.
If you need convincing, here's a list of people saying flattering things about it.
