In 2021, I set a goal to read 48 books for the year. I read a total of 64 books. I am quite proud of myself.
For 2022, I have set a goal to read 60 books, but I'm sure I will read more. One condition of my goal is to focus on reading books for pleasure (though I may have to read some for professional development).
I am using two reading challenges to assist me.
1. #mustreadin2022 - a challenge that lets me list the books I wanted to read in 2021, but didn't, and encourages me to commit to reading them in 2022.
2. #popsugarreadingchallenge2022 - a challenge that provides a list of book prompts that will guide some of the books I choose to read throughout the year.
The books that remain on the book shelf 2021 include:
- Ghost by Jason Reynolds
- Rescue at Lake Wild by Terry Lynn Johnson
- Cilla Lee-Jenkins: Future Author Extraordinaire by Susan Tan
- Cilla Lee-Jenkins: This Book is a Classic by Susan Tan
- Cilla Lee-Jenkins: The Epic Story by Susan Tan
- Just Be Cool Jenna Sakai by Debbi Michiko Florence
- Twins by Varian Johnson
- Three Keys by Kelly Yang
- Horace & Bunwinkle: The Case of the Rascally Raccoon by PJ Gardner
- Shuri (A Black Panther Novel) by Nic Stone
- Polo Cowboy by Gregory Neri
- Trouble at Turtle Pond by Diana Renn
- Pax by Sara Pennypacker
- Where the Heart Is by Jo Knowles
- Love is Revolution by Renee Watson
- In the Shadow of the Moon by Amy Cherrix
- The Lucky Ones by Linda Williams Jackson
I am hopeful that I will meet my goal of reading each of these books for the Must Read in 2022 challenge. I am also hopeful that some or all of these books will match a book prompt for the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge. Either way, I am certain I will enjoy spending time reading the books on my list.
