    Top Reads Of 2022

    January 12, 2023


    Another year, another hot mess, 

    Chatterbabes!


    Each year, we try to push ourselves and immerse full force into the reading world praying that when it's all over, we've walked away experiencing some of the best stories ever written.

    This year, we struggled with our reading goals. We became emotionally drained with books that just didn't work for us, and we found it so hard to get that spark back into our reading. 

    Our blog will forever remember 2022 as the year of the book slump. 

    Surprisingly, through it all, with multiple breakdowns between us and endless chatter, we still managed to walk away with some incredible reads! 

    Thank you so much to all the authors on this list. We wouldn't have made it through the year without you. 

    Without further ado, here are our favorite books of 2022!
