My books of the year 2022

I always find choosing my books of the year incredibly difficult: I have so much love for the books I read (153 this year at the time of writing this) and I never want to disappoint an author (I know how much time and effort goes into writing a book, not to mention part of your soul).

Still, that said, I've decided to have a go at narrowing down a list this year and I've gone for the books that had the biggest impact on me for one reason or another.  They're listed below in the order in which I read them.
