HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am so excited to tell you that the books coming this year are AMAZING. You are going to be so happy! I can’t believe that’s already time to start talking about them. Do you have reading goals for 2022? I want to read more nonfiction (my perennial goal lol) and more books by small presses.
Now, for today: I’ve cooked you up one of my famous megalists for our first visit of the new year. Below, you’ll find titles (loosely) broken up into several categories, to make it easier for your browsing convenience. I hope you have fun with it! And as with each first Tuesday newsletter, I am putting a ❤️ next to the books that I have had the chance to read and loved.
And speaking of today’s great books, for this week’s episode of All the Books! Danika and I discussed some of the wonderful books that we’ve read, such as Olga Dies Dreaming, One True Loves, The School for Good Mothers, and more.

This week: I’m currently reading The Affair of the Mysterious Letter by Alexis Hall and Oh Honey by Emily R. Austin. Outside of books, I’ve been watching all the Celtics games, making collages, and playing a lot of World of Warcraft. And the song stuck in my head is Beautiful Girl by INXS. And speaking of beautiful girls, here’s a picture of my lovely little lady, Millay. ❤️
Thank you, as always, for joining me each week as I rave about books! I am wishing the best for all of you in whatever situation you find yourself in now. And yay, books! – XO, Liberty ❤️
