December 2022 Wrap Up and Goodreads 2022 Year in Books

-

Hi Lovelies! I read 9 books last month. They are mostly contemporary books. I've read one self-help book, which is The Happiness Project and I read it throughout the year since the chapters divided into months. I am not going to lie but I didn't get to practice and follow the book. I also read Bad Days in History daily. It became a routine for me to read it before I start my day or before I go to bed. 
I wasn't able to read during the last week of the month since I was on vacation in Hong Kong. But before the trip, I read 2 books from the Honeywood series. It's a series that is set in an amusement park and since I'll be going back to Disneyland again. I tried to contain my excitement by reading. I did enjoy the book. I like the concept but the romance part was lacking for me. I couldn't feel the connection between the couples. 

Overall, 2022 was a good reading year for me. I definitely crushed my reading goal of 50 books by reading 110 books. 

Here are links to my Goodreads

Disclaimer:  I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Summary:  from: goodreads Fifteen-year-old Sula has always known she is different.

What’s worse is she also feels that her parents are hiding something from her. After getting expelled from school, Sula reluctantly goes to stay with her mother’s friends. There she unexpectedly finds herself on a journey of self-discovery — a journey that keeps drawing her to the sea. Sula must not only figure our her parents’ secret, but also just how different, and possibly magical, she really is. Review:           When Ms. Torres e-mailed me asking if I could review her book, I immediately said yes because I thought it was a Filipino mythology based novel and that I also wanted to support Filipino books. Thought it has some myst
