![my top 10 books of 2022 🏆 [cc]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jmd3ieDmmxg/mqdefault.jpg)
15:30 hi Katie!! Just a note, Confessions is a Japanese book ☺️
Love all your videos! And I’m writing down the books I haven’t read to add to my TBR 📚
💙💙💙
It's Japanese and not Korean 🤦🏻♀! Ugh I can't believe I did that and didn't catch myself. I'm sorry. Thank you!
Your summarization of My Dark Vanessa LITERALLY gave me goosebumps. It's been on my shelf for a couple of months but I think I need to pick it up next.
Katie, I read Notes on an Execution because of you, and it ended up my favorite book of the year. It’s so amazing. Thank you for making me want to read it!
I’m so happy to hear that
Tender is the Flesh was my number 1 for the year, but that was a given. And even though you hated it during the reread, I'm glad you raved about All of Us Villains the first time, because I wouldn't have read it otherwise and I ended up absolutely loving it.
I loved All of Us Villians (overall), but hated the sequel. I was so sad!
I swear to god, you are the extroverted version of me. Anytime you put out a favorites list I come away with way too many books on my library pickup list 😂
“Leave enough room for God” that’s the first time I’ve heard that haha! I love it. 😂
Loving how you're incorporating the names of the books in your review. How Tender is the Flesh was "fleshed" out or how the author "executed" her writing in Notes on an Execution.
Im so glad my dark vanessa is on this list! It was my fav book of 2022. It had me thinking of it EVEN NOW! It made me feel emotions I havent felt in so long.. truly a beautiful book
Love the idea of platonic soul mates! Not sure why this idea isn't more widespread.
Katie, You need to read Our wives under the sea, it checks all your boxes! It's my favorite of this year 😍
I read My Dark Vanessa back in 2020 and it STILL HAUNTS ME. Absolutely masterful book
Such a GREAT representation of grooming
The way you talk about books makes every single one sound like a 12/10! Literally going to the bookstore tomorrow now..
Notes on an Execution was also my favorite. After I read it, I was like “this is going to be my favorite this year for sure.” And feeling has not left since I read it the week it came out.
Katie, I just love your content. I’m new to your channel, but whenever I need to have a laugh or just need to have a good little time doing nothing, I come here.
Watching this 6 months later & realizing there were so many bangers last year!! This year it’s all 3-4 stars 🥱 not a single 5 star in sight! I might have to reread some 2022 faves. I need some joy in my life lol
Thanks for adding to my TBR for the new year! My Dark Vanessa was the most memorable book of the year for me….amazing in every way!👍🏼❤️
TIFFANY D JACKSON IS JUST SO FUCKING GOOD. And I also need to buy a notebook for qoutes.
My Dark Vanessa is 5/5 for me too. One of the best and most important books I've ever read. I think more people should read it.
I need a list of all of Katie's best audiobook recommendations! I know she has so many throughout her videos, but I need them in one place!
I’ve read my dark vanessa. Loved the book, though it was and is dark. At least i think so. 🥰
My dark Vanessa truly had my heart this year.
It felt so...real.
Like I just wanted to hug Vanessa and tell her everything is so okay.
The realness is actually why I ended up having to DNF. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the writing and everything really, just hit so damn close to home. So glad there's a lot of people who love it
💙💙 LOVE these end of year videos! I can't handle too much horror but I still watch all your videos because A) love a chaotic queen and B) the mystery/thriller recs are always ON POINT. Btw, finished Nettle and Bone and LOVED IT. I have the first 5 in the Veronica Speedwell series and the Thursday Murder Club series is on it's way to me and I. CAN'T. WAIT. You are the best, thank you for putting so much time and love into your videos!!
Thank you for the ace recommendation 💙 I hardly ever see anyone talk about books with ace or aro characters and I am so glad you do, bc honestly your videos about Loveless is my reason for finaly picking it up
💙 Congratulations on the best video I've seen yet from people talking about there best books. So many just do the battle of the books but I so enjoyed all your explanations on why these books made your list. I learned about a new one to put on my to read list and was able to confirm some that should keep on my to read list. Thank you. 📚
Omg thank you! This is an amazing compliment. This made my day.
Notes On An Execution is my favorite book of the year, too! I read it in July and have thought about it every single day since. Absolutely stunning. And you’ve convinced me to start the Thursday Murder Club series.
So happy to hear that you enjoyed my favorite book of the year. Happy to know that others know
Notes on an Execution and My Dark Vanessa were the top 2 books I read this year. So glad to see them on your list!
I thank Katie for introducing me to Spy Family! It’s sooo cute! Now I need to find the anime.
I’ve only read Notes on an Execution on this list and halfway through Confessions. Can’t wait to see what happens! Crazy for sure!
I just finished My Dark Vanessa today because of your recommendation. I really liked it. Dark and disturbing but beautiful writing.
💙💙💙
I got a curious beginning for Christmas thanks to you !! I read few of them thanks to you and have the other on a wishlist !
Thank you for this year of amazing content 💙 Thank you for brightening my day every Time 💙
Your number one is my number one this year. That book hands down was the most amazing thing I’ve ever read. It gave me a book hangover that lasted 2 weeks. It was everything 💙
I love hearing that! I want to spread the joy of this book so much. Glad to hear someone else agrees
@@KatieColson oh yes lol between you and gabby i had to pick this book up and I’m so glad i did. Confessions is on my wishlist and I’ll be buying it soon
I recently found ur channel and I'm obsessed.😩 ur energy is everything, plus the fact that i have finally found someone with MY taste. this video is just me writing this all down as if u were giving me personal recommendations.💙
Aw thank you so much! Certainly glad to have you. Especially since we’re so similar
Love your love for Thursday Murder Club because I have that same obsession with the characters. I love them so much and just want to be adopted as a grandchild to all of them! Adding a few of your favorites to my TBR!
Love this round up! I appreciate, that you insert quotes and get excited about every book and explain why and keep up the energy throughout the video without spoilering :D! Put a few more books on my list. Bcs I only read spy family out of your list and I'm hoooked.
I’ve never been a big fan of books written in second person, but Notes on an Execution, The Push, and A Dowry of Blood are all ones you loved that are written in second person and now I feel like I need to try it again!
I'm gray ace and heteroromantic, so excited that there's a book with some rep for that!!
💙💙 So good! I can’t wait to read some of your favorites next year!
Slewfoot was one of my best reads this year! My Dark Vanessa was also intensely disturbing, not a fave but it definitely stayed with me for so many months after reading it. Tender is My Flesh is one of my next reads (excited!) and I'm adding all the other books in your list. Thank you! 💙💙💙
💙. Tender is the Flesh was one of my top 3 books of 2021. I Loved it!!! My second favorite was Meat by Joseph D'Lacey. You have to read it if you loved Tender is the Flesh. It's in the same genre, so to speak, and blew my mind! I think you would love it!! I had audiobooks for both, but want a hard copy of both.
I love your channel so much and you helped get me back into reading. You rock!
Hope you have a fantastic 2023!
I clicked on this video and started jumping with excitement! I can’t wait to watch!!!!
I have read and loved several books on your list. I loved Slewfoot, Confession, and Notes on an Execution. I loved Notes on an Execution. It was so tragic. Knowing the serial killers history didn't absolve him of his crimes but did make me think for a long time after I finished reading it. Which for me is what a good book does.
Happy New Year!
The Thursday Murder Club is one of my favorite series! I am also super intrigued to read Notes on an Execution and Tender is The Flesh!
The Romantic Agenda now climbed its way to the top of my TBR. I am aromantic but not asexual, kind of different from the plot but somewhat comforting to know its similar to my case. Ty for the reco
Have you read Lets Talk About Love by Claire Kann? That’s also a book with an asexual MC. I wouldn’t say that type of contemporary is my favorite and even so I still really enjoyed that book and felt I learned so much about asexuality that I hadn’t known before. If you haven’t read it you may like that one too!
I love how we are both Geminis and asexual.
Slewfoot sounds like my vibe I NEED to read this in 2023 wow x
Yes please do! It’s stunning
I haven’t read any of the books, but now I’m in interested in watching 2 or 3 of them. I love the quotes you included…so good! 💙
💙💙💙💙
Yes! My Dark Vanessa is one of my favorite books ever!
Katie reads the quote from The Romantic Agenda
Me: I am literally crying😭😭😭
Aw Alyssa. Saaaaamr
A Curious Beginning just got added to my wish list. Thank you! I have My Dark Vanessa on my kindle already and can’t wait to read it.
Great recap of your best 2022 reads 💙
6:34 I don’t read horror and I don’t know why I picked it up, but I’m sooo glad I did!! I’ve never even seen Carrie, but I know the general idea of it and I feel like this was done very well. I love the semi-true crime type look at it with the journalists in the alternating chapters/intros. I think that approach is what kept me hooked versus other horror books. I have emotions and questions!!! I need a sequel! Is there a Carrie sequel? The way she ended it, makes me need a sequel. Kenny?! Hello?!? It’s so well done! It’s one of my favorites too and it’s completely out my comfort zone. Also the audiobook had one guy who legit sounded like combination of Tone Loc( sang the song Wild Thing from the 90s.) and a raspy Coolio and I was living for it! Lol.
YASSSSS Notes on an Execution is the best and I'm so glad I read it because of you!!!! Aslo there are so many great books on this list! I also love Confessions, Sleeping Giants, Romantic Agenda, and Tender is the Flesh!
💙 The best book I read in 2022 was hands down You Should See Me in a Crown by Leah Johnson, which was her debut novel. Spectacular queer and disabled representation, sells the concept of a prom-obsessed town flawlessly, and I loved every character
The ending of Confessions literally made my jaw drop mid working a shift and I was like “Genius”!!!!
You got me reading the veronica speedwell series and it's such a comfort series!❣️
Not me getting on Barnes & Noble and buying The Weight of Blood before you even got to the next book.😂 I can’t wait to get my hands on it!👏
Haha! It won’t disappoint
💙💙💙 definitely need to add some of these to my TBR!!!
I havent read any of these but i love your enthusiasm for them. They sound very interesting.
I loved The Last House on Needless Street !! This book is something else ! It opened another level for me ! And it has a beautiful and important message at the end…love it !!!
Notes on an execution is on the top of my tbr for next year. I just want to wait for a point in time where I'm in the mindset to truly appreciate it💙💙💙
I’ve now put several books on weeks-to-months-long holds on Libby and I regret nothing! 💙
I read the first 4 books in the Veronica Speedwell series this because of you and I have never been more glad of a decision that I've made. I think I'll need to pick up the Thursday Murder Club series next!
💙 I need to read notes on an execution!
My library FINALLY got Spy Family in at the start of 2023. I BINGED Vol 1-5 in a day! Waiting (impatiently) on Vol. 6-8 now. My 11 year old now INSISTS I watch the anime 🤣
The Romantic Agenda sounds so cute! I’m going to check it out. Great video! 💙💜
loveeeeeed this!!! my best book of 2022 (and quite possibly for all time) is Lie With Me by Philippe Besson - pure brilliance, 148 pages of immense meaning and just incredible
My Dark Vanessa truly was an immaculately written book! It's one of my top books of the year as well (even if it did ruin my s*x life for a month because I couldn't stop thinking about the book) 💙 You're like the fifth person I've seen put Notes on an Execution in their top books of the year ... might have to pick it up!
Hearing you say your fav Richard Osman book was the second one really makes me want to continue the series even tho I didn't love the first book
I loved The Last House on Needless Street. It's an amazing book, as is Sundial (by the same author). I'm definitely looking up The Weight of Blood. Also love Richard Osman. Only read the first so far, but plan to read the rest this year. I enjoyed Notes on an Execution a lot. It's one of the best literary/genre books I've read. The three main female characters are brilliantly written.
The leggings in the last house on needless street!!! After I finished I just broke down the scene with my husband (because this book was one I had to just update him on periodically and confuse him) 😂
So many great recommendations... thanx!💙💙
I read Tender is the Flesh because of you and it’s my fave book of the year. 💖 🐰
VERONICA ALWAYS!!!! Was just gifted book 2 and as soon as I get over this cold I am going to DEVOUR it!!!!
Oooo yes, love sleeping giants! The audiobooks for the series is so good!
I said I wasn't going to buy anymore books but I watched this video and damn it!!!!!.....I'm ordering your number one book and Curious Beginning 😭😭😭😭
Liked solely for the “baby come back” comment 😂
LOVE Notes on an Execution - also read it this year. My Dark Vanessa I read last year...but it's still in my thoughts. And House on Needless Street = excellent :)
So many of these I want to read I have had my dark Vanessa on my tbr for alittle while now just got be in the right headspace to read it 💙
You definitely have to be in the right headspace to read that book. So you’re doing the right thing
It wasnt a trad pub book or indie pub its a fanfiction called Games by persephone selene on ao3 the sequel is hopefully coming out this year
You are a crazy, silly, fun and very intriguing person! So there are a few on here that I had on my “not to read” list, but something about your intensity with recommending these books made me decide to give them a try. I now have a tag in my online catalog of TBR with your name on it so that I give them a try and remember who “TOLD” me to read them. ❤😊😅
Love the vibes always 💙💙
💙 I might have to go order Notes On An Execution now …
I just cannot pick my favorites this year. I threw in the hat on trying after a week of constant pondering. Lol 💙
I wrote and rewrote this list so many times. I feel your pain
💙💙💙I always enjoy your videos!💙💙💙
Oooo the quote you read from The Romantic Agenda makes me want to read it soon 💛💛💛
💙💙
Hey Katie !! Long time ! Missed you
I have the Romantic Agenda. I have to read it after your review. I think the author also wrote Lets Talk about Love which also have an asexual character.
I didn’t realize it was the same author! I must read that book in 2023. Thanks for letting me know
Agree! My favorite number 1 book of the year! 👏
For real? That’s amazing, Pamela. I feel like I haven’t seen a bunch of people talking about this book. Happy to hear you enjoyed it as much as me
My Dark Vanessa is so beautiful but so sad 😢
I absolutely loved Confessions & Tender is the Flesh💙💙
I loved the last house on needless street. I listened to it and the performance was perfect! And yes..the LEGGINGS!
Also, i read my dark Vanessa in 2021 and there is a now a me before reading it and a me after reading it. I am a Vanessa but i didn't fully acknowledged it before i read this book 🤯
My favorite book this year was the very first one I read (out of 70) and that is A Dowry of Blood by ST Gibson.
Can i just point out that the books matches?😅 all colors are purple/blue/dark/black! Looooove it 🤍
Okay you have just said it 😂💙 sorryyyy
Haha, Just the beginning of this video had me cracking up. I bought All of us Villans due to your recommendation in 2021 🤣 . But never mind, it was pretty okay read to me 🤣. There were other recommendations that were terrible. Like I honestly tortured myself by reading Under the Whispering Door ..so boring.
Ngl I’m patting myself on the back that TWO of my recs made the top10 😏😏😏😏
If I’d asked for 10 book recs in 2022, then they all would’ve been on this list, haha
Stop now I NEED Notes on an Execution 💙
fabulous!!!!!! love this!!!😊😂❤
Finally someone else who loves Tender is the Flesh as much as me 😭❤️
