Here's a final post to summarize my reading for 2022. I read a total of 52 books! It's 10 less than last year but I still consider it to be a decent amount of reading, especially for a high school student.

Cheers to books and reading! 1. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. The plot twist OMG. I did not see it coming at all. It was such an excellent read. My friend recommended it to me since she found it to be super exciting and we had a really interesting discussion on the book. Review coming in 2023!
