On The Same Page discussion

n November 2021, as I look at my reading over the year, I have been caught up in readathon and recommendations and series recommendations. It meant books that were hard or too slow got shelved. So in 2022 I will be limiting my involvement in community reads and every project that glitters. (I will see what happens in January when this flies through the window partially.)

So 2022 - no rules except read books I already have acquired as much as possible.

Unread books as of December 31, 2021

These challenges look great.

Good luck and it will be interesting to see what you pick.

You are very ambitious. I look forward to seeing what books flesh out your lists.

I am always very ambitious. I think I can read a lot of books until real life interjects. Though I can usually get at least 10 books in a month read. Hoping to get through more audiobooks.

Wow, 10 books in a month, I can only dream of that!

Your January plans look amazing. I've read The Poisonwood Bible. Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman, The Orphan Master's Son and Fall of Giants and enjoyed them all. I recently read The Vanishing Half by Britt Bennett, which was a book that made me think. Looking forward to seeing what you select from your choices, and what you think of what you read. Best wishes!

This is good to see. I hope to pick up some of these during 2022

January was the typical month though it felt like I struggled with reading as life got hectic in the last 2 weeks.
The plan for February is to finish books I have started, continue the series.
