I’ve always been a very avid reader. I was the kid who got in trouble for reading long into the night. My poor eyesite is actually accredited to laying on one side while reading with my flashlight as a child. (That’s why one eye is doubly as bad as the other.)
I’ve done reading challenges (with Goodreads) since 2014, with anywhere from 150 to 35 books, depending on what stage of life I was in! All that to say, I love to read. This year I did pretty in number, around 45 books, and while I’m happy I read, and it was nice to keep my mind engaged, the quality and content was mostly “fluffy” type reads. Mindless stuff I could fit in while my kiddos napped.
In 2022, I’m looking for a challange, and I’d like learn some things. Focusing a little more on quality and content, over numbers for my list.
So this is my 2022 reading challange. I picked 22 because it is catchy, while also a nice number of challenging works, but leaving some wiggle room for recommendations and other books that catch my fancy.
A couple of these are rereads, but ones I thought were worth the extra time, and I’d like to spend more time getting into them.

Loving My Littles 
I remember how much we used to talk about books and reading lists! The last year or so I finally was able to figure out how to work reading back into my schedule, but I think taking up the Wheel of Time series was a little ambitious haha when I haven’t read much in the last six years or so because of school. I’m on book six out of fifteen right now and just hopeful I can get through the tenth book by the end of 2022 right now!
Merry Christmas 🙂

I’m a little intimidated by the wheel of time series! It’s huge! (I still love lists, though! 😂😊)
