20 Books of Summer 2022 – Complete!

Hey y’all! In early June, I started my first year challenging the 20 books of summer goal that’s hosted at 746 Books. The goal is to read and review 20 books from June to September 1. The reviewing is the key part!

In my sign up post, I chose to go for 15 based on specific prompts that I wanted to fulfill. I did hit all 15 prompts, as well as a lot of other books that I read and reviewed outside of it! Below is a list of the books I completed for each prompt, as well as the other reviews I posted during the summer. 😊

The 15 prompts & their books

• Book of the Month: You’re Invited by Amanda Jayatissa
• Fast Forward Friday book from before 2022 x2: Zara Hossain is Here by Sabina Khan, The Mirror Season by Anna-Marie McLemore
• new summer release: Lucie Yi is Not a Romantic (6/21/22)
• first book in a series I’ve always meant to start: A Quest of Heroes by Morgan Rice
• a book set in New England: The Woman in The Library by Sulari Gentill
• a Goodreads Award winner: Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner
• a book I keep getting from Hoopla but not reading: A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair

• one of the oldest books ever added to my Goodreads TBR: The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa
• a Storygraph recommendation: Soundless by Richelle Mead
• a super popular book I’ve been avoiding: The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
• a book I recently bought: Not So Pure And Simple by Lamar Giles
• an arc: The Year Without A Summer by Arlene Mark
• the last book in a series: A Vow So Bold and Deadly by Brigid Kemmerer
• Random jar pick: The Replacement Wife by Darby Kane!

So in total I posted 29 reviews from June – end of August! In essence, that’s like posting a review every day for one of those months, which is a lot when I think about it that way (especially since I don’t post every day). If y’all also did the challenge, link your post below! If you haven’t would you consider doing it next year?
