How many books does a book blogger read in a year?
I don’t know about other book bloggers, but for me, when I’m asked how many books I read a year, I answer with around 200 books a year.
Admittedly, I’ve never actually read 200 books in a year. I could if I wanted to. This year, I finished exactly 150 books. Which is less than I’ve read for the last few years, but felt just about right for me this year.
Curious what I read? Today I’ve got my complete 2022 Reading List just for you. I love going over my reading because it lets me see all my year’s reading in one place.
I read so many books, it can be hard to keep them all straight. When I compile my entire year together, I can see which genres I favored (Contemporary Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers) and which ones I skipped (Classics, Poetry, Young Adult).
Sorry, but writing up descriptions on well over 100 books is not going to happen. Instead, enjoy my star rating of each book in my 2022 reading list, along with a short description.

All her books are inspirational.. I’ve enjoyed several of the stand alone titles Between Sundays was a 6 star as are most of her books.
