22 Books for 2022

With the start of the new year, I've seen a trend of folks posting twenty-two books that they'd like to read in 2022. I thought it would be fun to hop on the band wagon! Last year, I made my reading goal 21 books for 2021. For whatever reason, I missed that goal by 2 books. That being said, I didn't want to make my goal for this year to read even more than that... but I did anyways! I'm going to make my goal to read twenty-two books this year. Last year there were several months that I read very little to nothing, which is understandable with all the wedding planning we were doing. Considering that, I feel pretty confident that I'll be able to read a few more books this year! Now, you may be asking: "Does that mean that the only books you'll be reading this year are from this list?" Basically, the answer is no. This is just a list of books that I'm feeling excited to read right now; it's very likely to change! I should also mention that some of these books are new & some are old. I didn't want to limit myself, so this list may feel random at times! I've also separated them into two groups: books I already own & books that I don't yet own. This is for me to make sure I am reading from my backlog, while still allowing myself to get some new books (yay!). Without furter ado, here are some of the books I'm excited to read in 2022.
