Hey there my lovelies! =)
In my „Top 15 of my bookish 2022“ blog post I mentioned that I would try to read 45 books this year again and that there were only 40 on my list so far. I asked you, my fellow BookTubers/Subscribers and my IG friends for recommendations to fill in those last five blank spots and as always your suggestions were amazing! ❤
I wrote them all down and put them into a bowl. Well, and then I pulled out 5 of them! Soon there will be a video of it on my BookTube! 😉 This said: A huge thank you to everyone who threw recs my way and participated! I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your answers and I hope you’ll find your recommendation at the end of the following list! 
(light cobalt blue colour) Since this worked out so fine last year I put emojis next to the books again and tried my best to classify them for you. I think they are pretty self-explanatory but if you have questions what they mean you can always ask me in the comments!

I’m really looking forward to read all of those books and I hope that this time around I’ll actually manage to get to them. Or well, at least most of them! *lol* I’m pretty confident that I’ll get through this list though, because most of those books I had in my mind for quite a while and I didn’t add any rereads this year. (Even though I might go for some when the mood hits me. XD) Of course I’ll continue to try to get through My Book List 2019 , My Book List 2020 , My Book List 2021 and now My Book List 2022 as well. On my 2019 list there are only 6 books left I still have to tick off and I know I can do it! I know I said this in 2022 already but I’m going to say it again: 2023 is going to be the year!!! I know it! Haha!
Anyway! What about you? Did you already read some of the books on my list or are you planning to read them in near future? How many books do you want to read in 2023? Are you taking part in the GR challenge? Which releases of 2023 are you looking forward to? Talk to me and let me know!
And as always: Stay healthy and safe!
*hugs’n’kisses*
