I'm taking a bigger serving this go-around, only in the hope I can find a lot of crossover books that I can use for multiple challenges.
For me, the hunt for books is one of the funnest parts for me!

My Old and New Challenge is locked in so I am ready to go!
Happy reading in 2022!

And it's a wonderful challenge Susie! I had to add your book on Brunelleschi's Dome. Studied it in Art History and have never forgotten how fascinating that story is. Have fun. :-)

In January:

I read 2 books for my Old and New Challenge, 2 books for the Group Reading Challenge and 2 for my Expand My Horizons Challenge.
With some overlap...of course!

I only completed 1 challenge this year and it was, of course, from the buffet...the Special # 7 - Expanding my Horizons by reading 6 new Authors.

Just under the wire...I will take it!
On to 2023!

Congratulations Susie! Those are six nice books from our shelves. I am glad you found some 5 star reads.
