Winter Reading 2022: Three Loves, Two Likes, One Bummer and a Wildcard

Hello, hi! Episode 56 features book recommendations from my reading during Fall and Winter of 2022. I categorize these reviews with three loves, two likes, one bummer and a total wildcard.

This is the last episode of 2022, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for engaging with the Medium Lady Talks podcast and community. Connecting with you has meant the world to me and I will always be grateful for your time and attention. The podcast will take the month of January as hiatus and Season 3 will begin in February of 2023!!

 

Books reviewed:

 

This is How it always is by Laurie Frankel

• Vicious by V.E. Schwab
• Girl,Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo
• Don’t Overthink it by Anne Bogel
• Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
• Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doer
• Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armsfield

Off hand and totally unplanned Reading Resolutions for 2023

1. Pass on all books that feature children experiencing vicarious trauma (or direct trauma)
2. Track with more consistency, why and how I came upon a book recommendation when I place a hold at the library
3. Add more V.E. Schwab to my TBR pile
4. Journal more frequently in tandem with non-fiction reading

You can always help out the podcast by providing a rating or review, and sharing it with another Medium Lady in your life!

I love to connect with listeners, you can swing by to say hi on Instagram, @medium.lady any time, I'm sure we'll become fast friends.
