A Mid-Year Reading Check-In | Talking About Our Most and Least Faves So Far in 2022

It's our mid-year check-in! Marissa and Megan embark on a review of the highs and lows of 2022 so far! We start by discussing our reading goals for the year and whether or not we're ahead or behind schedule. We also talk about the main themes, genres, book pacing, and pages that we've read this year, using the data from our Storygraph accounts. (If you're looking to see our Storygraph accounts, you can find Marissa's here and Megan's here.)

From there, we break down our highest-rated and lowest-rated reads from this year. You can expect us to talk about a number of novels and books, including: 

• The Annual Migration of Clouds by Premee Mohamed
• Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toskikazu Kawaguchi (Translated by Geoffrey Trousselot)
• The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green
• Persuasion by Jane Austen
• We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (skip to 41:18 to avoid any spoilers)
• Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan
• Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe
• The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins
• Emma by Jane Austen
• The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante
• It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover (section ends at 1:01:26)

From there, we discuss our upcoming reads and announce our next podcast topic.
