I used to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by “running” a .5K (yes you read that right) which earned you a cup to fill up at numerous local bars. These days I set up elaborate leprechaun traps with my children and have a more laid-back celebration. If you too are celebrating at home this year might I suggest some delicious Irish food and a romantic Irish movie. Here are three of my favorite movies to watch on St. Patrick’s Day.

I’m very happy with how I started this new year out, at least reading-wise. I actually enjoyed each book reviewed below but the speed, length, and genres certainly vary. The summaries should help you select your next great read.

I’ve rounded up my favorites reads from the year 2022. These are the books I rated either 4 or 5 stars! The list is in no particular order but I did note my two absolute favorites from the year. To clarify, the following books were read by me in the year 2022 , not necessarily published this past year. Tap the image of any book you wish to purchase or add the titles to your must read list. Happy reading in 2023!
