Another year, another reading list? I don’t mind if I do!
I’ve read at least 100 books a year for the past eight years, so it’s fair to say I’m an avid reader. As such, I love giving and receiving book recommendations.
I document all of the books I read each year on my annual reading list. This 2022 reading list is where I will track my monthly reading and give each book I read a grade. An “A” book is one that I consider excellent. It’s a game-changer — something I would recommend to anyone. But please don’t ignore books I give “B” grades. These are really great books, but they just aren’t excellent life-changing books.
I’m not creating a reading challenge this year. But after several years of reading about 125 books or so, I really want to hit 150 books again. We’ll see if I can make it happen. Either way, I’ll read a lot.
Want to see reviews of my favorite books through the years? Visit my bookstore to view and purchase books I’ve given perfect grades.
I hope you find something on my 2022 reading list to read and love. As always, happy reading!
