2022 Reading List and Challenges

 Usually I've tried to read 50 books in a year, but I've been coming up short of that for the last couple of years. My goal in 2021 was 35 and I didn't quite make it, but it seems a reasonable goal for this year as well. Along the way, I'll also try to read books representing at least four different European countries, and read 22 books from my existing library. Let the games begin!

    2. Atomic Habits - James Clear
    3. Mrs. Witherspoon Goes To War - Mary Davis
    4. Lumberjacks and Ladies - novella collection
    5. The End of the Magi -  Patrick W. Carr
    6. A Brush With Shadows - Anna Lee Huber
    7. Love's Fortress - Jennifer Uhlarik
    8. A Rose For The Resistance - Angela K. Crouch
    9. Price of a Rose - Byrd Nash
    10. Recitatif - Toni Morrison
