Kiss, Marry or Kill: My top ten books of 2022

And I haven't talked about any of 'em yet. (Obviously, this is "Marry.")

I haven’t shared any book reviews on Instagram lately, although during my Boundaries book tour, I read more than ever.

Themes as characters. Explorations of power and privilege. Surprisingly this year, nothing was dark and twisty, and in general, I read quite a bit more historical-inspired fiction than in past years.
