This year I’ve decided to design my own 52 book reading challenge. I’m excited about doing this for multiple reasons. Firstly, it’s a great way to encourage myself to tackle some of those things I’ve been meaning to do for a while. And secondly, it’s a great way to push me out of my comfort zone from time to time. And thirdly, and probably the most important of the three, is accountability! Concrete goals are a great motivator! So without further adieu, here are my categories for my 2022 reading challenge. If you would like to join me in this, please do! If you do, leave me a comment linking to your post so I can check in with you as well.

Happy Reading in 2022!
