Read in 2022

In 2021, I read a total of 75 books, although I just managed to squeak it in before the end of the year. This year I'm going to try to read 75 books again and hopefully achieve the goal a little more comfortably. I’ll be keeping track of the books I read in 2022 on this page, so feel free to click on the hyperlinks below to read the reviews as the year progresses or check out my reviews alphabetically by author. Wish me luck!
