My Top 5 Books of 2022!

I’ve read or listened to 44 books so far in 2022! Here’s a little drawing I made where I’ve been keeping track of this year’s reading list. (A few blank ones at the end, in case I finish any more.)

Here are my top five; these are the ones that have stayed with me, that I draw upon again and again:

  1. Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer

  2. The Dance of Anger by Harriett Lerner

  3. Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler

  4. What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo

  5. Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman

Honorable mentions: Heavy by Kiese Laymon, Bodywork by Melissa Febos, The Way of Integrity by Martha Beck, Bittersweet by Susan Cain, Why Fish Don’t Exist by Lulu Miller, and Story by Robert McKee
