Following my heart, one book at a time...
Kathy has some best books of 2022 love for us! This is a different Kathy than the one that regularly sends us her best of lists, so I’m calling this Kathy, “Kathy V” and from our comments sections, I see she has been with us since 2013!!
YAY KATHY V!!!
Kathy: I wasn’t sure if it was 2022 released books, or books we have read in ’22.
Maryse: Just the books you loved in 2022 (old or new). 🙂
P.P.S Have a “best of 2022” list for us? Send it to me here.
YAY!! Connie sent us her favorites from 2022! And this is her very first “Best of” list here on the blog, so I’m thrilled!
She’s been with us (at least comment-wise) since 2017, and from her past comments, she’s a girl after my own book-heart! LOL! She loves quite a few of my favorites (authors and books!!), and for the same reasons.
P.P.S Have a “best of 2022” list for us? Send it to me here.
Here are just a few of her comments over the years…
RE: Books you’re dying to read, but are too scared to… <— Connie: For me Brightside by Kim Holden fits in this category
And then the whole pining, and moments of hopefulness to moments of feeling utterly dejected. I always wonder what the HEA will end up looking like. OR IF there will be an HEA at all.
Nancy: Maryse we need a rejected mates book list because it’s my favorite trope lately!
So usually Saturday’s are a day with family and friends where I just relax and we cook, and feast. Do landscaping stuff, shop. All that fun stuff.
Lizzette is also looking for some very specific recommendations. I have a few categories that will certainly feed her trope interest, but if you have recommendations, too, we are all ears!!
PERSONAL MARYSE NOTE: I struggle with scenes of abuse BIG TIME (though I LOVE books about women on the run or starting over AFTER abuse, so in those instances, I can handle it). I don’t mind reading about obnoxiously bossy or possessive/jealous heroes, as long as they are ALSO protective and loving. Mental or physical (of any sort) abuse just kills it for me. I tend to DNF a lot of those depending on how “in your face” and upfront it is.
