I am a big reader; regular books, eBooks, and audiobooks. I don’t care how the information gets uploaded into my brain as long as it does. I keep track of my consumption of both fiction and non-fiction on GoodReads (both the phone app and the website) and have participated in their reading challenge since 2011.
My goal for 2022 was to read 80 books. I ended up reading a grand total of 48 books (including Audible Originals). I’m adding [Book Club Book] and [BBC Big Read] in case you’re curious how those books ended up in my to-read list.
The categories below are a bit broad because of the difficulty categorizing books rather than the easiness of rating movies. I rate them on GoodReads on their 5-star scale with a minor review if interested (everything below has a link). It comes down to: I highly recommend, I recommend, or I do not recommend.
I separate out the fiction, non-fiction, and series that I read. Have a look and let me know your thoughts on these. Enjoy!
