Reading in Years Past
2022
I stated my documented reading journey in 2022. I have always been a reader, but 2022 is when I set my first reading goals and completed my first reading challenges. Before 2022 I mostly read KU books or really popular books I had heard of. In 2021 I read the whole Uglies series as well as ACOTAR.
Going into 2022 my goal was to read 65 books and to read one book every calendar week. I think my goal to read at least one book every week started my reading habit and held me accountable. In 2022 I successfully completed the 52 week challenge, though many a books were read or finished at the very last second. I ended up reading 82 books total!
Here are some stats and round up for 2022:
Most read Authors:
1- Julia Quinn (10 books read)
2- Tessa Bailey (4 books read)
3- Jennifer L Armentrout, Ali Hazelwood and Kerri Maniscalco ( 3 books read each)
Top 3 books:
