Most of the 2022 Reads - I spent a lot of time reading the Kingdom Hearts Novels and manga. Other titles are thrown in.
The graphic novels I read in 2022 - Elektra: The Hand, Teen Titans Beast Boy Loves Raven, The Dragon Prince Graphic Novels.

Now I know what a lot of you are thinking; “Rosa, most of your list is Kingdom Hearts.” Hear me out. Last year, Gil and I decided to add the novels, mangas, and guides to our collection. I owned a few already, but the 20th-anniversary event was fast approaching. My goal was to get through them before that day, and I made it! The 358/2 Days mangas were my favorite. Other titles I enjoyed are Beast Boy Loves Raven, On the Come Up, A Quiet Kind of Thunder, and The Cemetery of Forgotten Books series.

Do ya’ll have any reads to recommend? I am open to suggestions. I wish you all a Happy 2023! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
