my top 10 books of 2022 🏆 [cc] 

Congrats on graduating Noelle!!! I think it would be really funny if you tier ranked the 50 books you read for your exam, but first get some rest!!

Return of our Book Goddess🙆🏻‍♀️🧡

“We laugh instead of addressing the pain”😆 i adore you so much Noelle. Congratulations on graduating.

Congrats Noelle!!! You DESERVE the break! Take care of yourself and again, congratulations! YOU DID IT!!!

When I got the notification for this I stopped everything! HUGE congratulations on graduating, Noelle!! I loved watching you on your grad school journey and how much you accomplished! I loved your top 10 list with such a wide range of genres. Some of my favorite books this year were A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Crying in H Mart, I’m Glad My Mom Died, and Last Summer on State Street. Can’t wait to see what you end up reading in the new year!

omg i’ve been following your grad school journey since 2020 and i’m so proud!! take care of yourself noelle❤️

Congratulations on graduating!! That is absolutely amazing & we’re all so proud of you!! You kicked ass this year! Now take all the time you need to rest & enjoy your accomplishments!! It’s been such a joy to watch your journey through grad school & to see how far you’ve come. I found your channel back in February of 2020 & it’s been a place of comfort these past few years. I hope all is well for you and your loved ones. Take a much deserved & much needed long break and just enjoy life. We will be here when you come back. I didn’t have a great reading year, but Book Lovers was definitely the best read this year.

We appreciate your effort and hard work, Noelle. Happy Holidays.

I love how honest you are about reading. Even though it is generally a fun and relaxing activity, it can sometimes be stressful, even for book lovers. Don't worry about not wanting to read after finishing your Master's. I got a double degree in Francophone and Hispanic Literature, so I completely understand how you may need a break even though you still have that desire to read. Take your moment and enjoy the relaxation that comes from stepping back for a bit. It will make reading that much more enjoyable in the future when you choose to pick up a book for fun again.

Girl oh my GOD I’ve been following your grad school journey from the beginning and SO HAPPY THAT YOU GRADUATED!! CONGRATULATIONS!! As of my 2023, I got dumped in september and relapsed into anorexia, lost my father and started anorexia treatment a week ago… I am DEFINITELY excited for 2023… My favourite book of the year HANDS DOWN everything i never told you…

Congrats Noelle!! We all knew you could do it 🥳❤️

SO PROUD OF YOU!! CONGRATS NOELLE

GIRL! CONGRATS! I'm graduating law school in April and I have been watching you since my first year of law and this feels like a full circle moment. Take time for yourself because school is effing hard, I can't wait to do the same.

Omg a Noelle video for Christmas is the best gift so far, I'm so happy to have you back! Literally was whining to my girlfriend earlier today that I miss your videos. Congrats on finishing grad school, such an achievement - it's such hard work (I say this as I'm writing my MA thesis so I know how you must have felt at times)!

You just made me buy Invisible Man. That opening line! 🤯 Congrats Noelle!! So glad you’re back, but take all the break that you need 😊

Congratulations!! !! 🎉 so happy you’re back! i find so much comfort in your videos

congrats on graduating! 🎉 hope it feels like your hard work has paid off and you are able to get some well-deserved rest!!

2022 was rough for me because I lost my mom, but I’m determined to start living again in 2023. I’m currently reading Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo & Song of Achilles, which are getting really good. I also want to start these violent delights. I want to read a book a week but I want to be like you & get my masters. CONGRATS!!!!🎉🎉🎉

Congrats on graduating, Noelle! My reading this year felt a lot like I was going through the motions, and I remember the disappointing reads more than the ones I enjoyed. The one upside from this year was that I embraced mood reading more and didn't force myself to read when I wasn't up for it. Happy holidays, and congrats once again!

my ten favorite books of the year!! (out of 63 and in chronological order) 1. small pleasures by claire chambers 2. miss benson's beetle by rachel joyce 3. circe by madeline miller 4. i am, i am, i am by maggie o'farrell 5. malibu rising by taylor jenkins reid 6. play it as it lays by joan didion 7. the white album by joan didion 8. slow days, fast company by eve babitz 9. the vanishing half by brit bennett 10. the secret history by donna tartt

Invisible Man is one of my favorite classics of all time! can't wait to read Wuthering Heights😍 Congrats on graduating, Noelle!!

My favorite discovery this year was realizing how much I really needed memoirs! BUT I pushed myself too hard, I think, with a reading goal this year and thus have been incredibly burnt out and haven't read a single sentence or touched a book in December. I'm hopeful for 2023 and very ready to get back into reading with a much more slowed and intentional purpose!!

Congrats Noelle!!!! Just want to say I found your channel right before the pandemic and it was such a huge comfort for me during a very scary time in the world. I’m forever grateful ❤

I love that you read such an interesting variety of books. I feel like this channel is one where I end up discovering quite a few books I'd like to read myself.

My top 5 books of the year are -The perks of being a wallflower by Stephen Chbosky -Anatomy by Dana Schwartz -Ledge by Stacey McEwan -The girl on the train by Paula Hawkins -The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides Congrats on graduating, hoping 2023 is amazing for you :)

Yay!!!! 🎉 Congrats on graduating! I’m so excited to watch this ❤

AHHHHHHH CONGRATS!!! Hearing you’ve graduated and hearing your progress makes me so happy ❤😊

i’m so proud of you Noelle!! watching you grow over the years has been such a joy. your videos have a level of comfort that is unmatched! love you & congrats!! 🎉 💗💗💗

OMG,I just thought this morning that you hadn't post a video in a while. So happy to see you back. And glad you are taking care of yourself. Huge congrats on your graduation!

I read so many good books this year but I do have a top 10 (there's no particular order; all of them mean the same to me): 1. the entirety of Berserk by Kentaro Miura (this is a fantasy manga and everything about it is just so perfect) 2. The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang (very dark fantasy; this book wrecked me) 3. Radio Silence by Alice Oseman (I felt so connected to the characters; it kind of made me question my whole life) 4. Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (this is kind of philosophy and it was absolutely amazing) 5. Crime & Punishment also by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (How? How did he do it? because I don't know) 6. The Faces by Tove Ditlevsen (this is about a woman who's a child books author and she slowly loses her mind and it was so so good; it's very short but it had such a big impact and I truly truly adored it) 7. The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson (high fantasy; I loved everything about this, I've never read such an epic battle; I almost lost my mind) 8. Iron Gold by Pierce Brown (4th book in the Red Rising series, and Jesus Christ, this is probably one of my all time fav sci-fi series and it continues to surprise me over and over again) 9. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (I read this in summer and have thought about it every day since then) 10. In Cold Blood by Truman Capote (a non-fiction about two guys who murder a family; I usually never read non-fiction but this was so good; really stunning, it's very detailed, yet it is short and I loved learning about the two characters because even though they committed such an awful crime, it was incredibly interesting to understand their motivation) A few honorable mentions: The Stranger by Albert Camus, Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

Welcome back Noelle!! Congrats on graduating! Take care of yourself and take the time you need. You deserve it and we will be here regardless! The last half of 2022 has been the happiest I’ve been in years and I’ve finally crawled out of my own reading slump. Im excited to see what the new year holds for all of us ! I hope that you can get back to reading for yourself and finding that passion again

Welcome back!! We’re all so happy to see you!!!! Congratulations on everything you’ve achieved with school AND in life!!

CONGRATULATIONS! I also graduated with my masters degree this year (with a ridiculously hard final exam instead of a thesis) and it was the BEST feeling. Take all the time you need to recover - seriously. I took a full month to hang on the couch and then I was ready to get back at life. Favorite books this year include Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Hamnet, Pachinko, In the Dream House, and The House of the Spirits. ☺️

As someone who was there when you were beginning the program and had so many second thoughts about it, and I was starting my own grad school back then, it’s so cool to see you graduate omg 🥺❤️ Congratulations!!

Noelle, it makes me so happy to have followed your journey along till you graduated! You absolutely changed my life and made me passionate about reading, and I'm so glad you're back!

CONGRATS ON GRADUATING!!!!! So happy for you!! Watching your content is always so RELAXING AND INSPIRING, so thank you for sharing your faves with us

I rarely notice when booktubers stop uploading, but I noticed you! So glad you are back! And congrats for graduating!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I really fell back in love with books this year and part of that is because of recommendations from you! My favorite book you recommended was Nightbitch. As a mom, I absolutely loved it. My favorite overall was The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune; I recommend it to anyone who will listen lol. I'm excited for reading going into 2023. I can read about 10-15 books a month, so I'm going to set a goal to read one from my favorite genres every month. Congratulations on your accomplishments and yes definitely take care of yourself ❤

welcome back Noelle and CONGRATS!!! my favorites this year were: I’m Glad My Mom Died, House of Leaves, Kafka on the Shore, Misery, The House of the Spirits, Never Let Me Go, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I’m feeling super motivated at the start of 2023 and I’m currently reading A Little Life. Project Hail Mary was at the TOP of my 2022 list of favorites and I’m so happy you enjoyed it!

Dear Noelle, I'm so glad you are back here🤗 With the time one gets addicted to your videos, and the way you are presenting/explaining the books. Congratulations on your exams!! And happy Holidays))

Congratulations Noelle!! All your hard work has paid off!! Enjoy this post grad bliss and take some time to rest and recharge. We will be here whenever you are ready!!

I would not have checked out Project Hail Mary without your recommendation! The audiobook is phenomenal.

Congratulations on graduating, Noelle!!🥳🙌🎊 I hope the holidays will be restful and joyful for you, you deserve all the rest and fun after such a big accomplishment!! ❤ when you’re well rested and ready to film again, would love to a follow-up on if the study schedule you made in the fall helped/worked for you. That vid of yours introduced me to time blocking!!

War & Peace, The Secret History, Daughters of Sparta, Persuasion, and Wuthering Heights were some of my favorite books I read this year! Always happy to see a new video from you 😊 congratulations on graduating, wishing you a wonderful 2023! 🎉

Just found out your channel, but really glad I did. Top level content! Congrats for the graduation!

Yay! I’m so happy you graduated!! I don’t normally comment but your videos always help me to keep reading and that is priceless. Thank you!

I am currently listening to Crying in H Mart on audiobook. It was a surprise for me! I jumped in not knowing about it because there was no hold for it on Libby and I was looking for something to listen to now and it is going to be one of my favorites for the year, I can already tell! I’m at the half way mark now!

Noelle is back!!! Congratulations on your graduation! 🎉 You deserve all the breaks you need - that is an amazing accomplishment! ✨My favorite books of 2022 were Beartown, Garlic & the Vampire, and Book Lovers.

Book of the year: Carmilla! Assigned it in my Gothic literature course and oh my! 🖤 What I'm looking forward to in the new year!

Congratulations on graduating! What a great achievement. My favorite memoir is I’m glad my mom died. So sad😢. My favorite mysteries were How The Light Gets In by Louise Penny and The Maid by Nita Prose. The Boy In The Striped Pajamas, John Boyne. Loved Carrie Soto is Back too! These are my favorites. 🥰

2022 was rough cause I was used to being isolated (with the pandemic an all) and now I needed to be to me social again at work and college. As I noticed that I wasnt as sociable as before, I crawled into a bad depression that I wasnt able to treat. Im excited for 2023 cause I got a new psychiatrist and meds seem to be working. Im ready to be a normal human in socity again (maybe a year later than everyone else but ok)

Congrats!!! So happy to have you back whenever you have the time

Biggest congrats on graduating!!! Project Hail Mary and Book Lovers were on my 2022 favorites list, and I loved Crying in H Mart and Yolk in previous years. I really want to pick up Thank You For Listening in 2023. I read more this year than any other year despite being in college, and I want to keep up that momentum while slowing down a bit to truly savor every read.

I read the Poppy War trilogy this year and loved it!

Congrats on your graduation!!! Exciting news! You've shared your journey and the end reult is something to be very proud of. Enjoy your brain break!

The year coming to an end is definitely something I need. 2022 was rough for me having lost friendships and overall life hurdles.

I truly wish you a recovering rest after the exam and wish you a happy new year 💖
