I had planned to write a short review of each book, but I'm way too tired for that! If you want to hear my thoughts on any of these, feel free to hit me up in the comments.
This list also includes two books that I actually read last December, but which I've decided to include here because that's when I submitted my PhD, and diving back into recreational reading in 2022 started in earnest in December 2021. I've also excluded the seven or so books I reread for comfort, didn't seem worth tacking them on.
Books I finished in 2022:
- Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, translated by Olena Bormashenko, narrated by Robert Forster (read December 2021)
