Last January I joined this challenge with the intent of reading 25 historical fiction books. I also planned to leave a review for each book on Amazon or Goodreads. Then I saw the beautiful book blogs others had created and wanted to try it myself in order to leave my reviews all in one place. Nearly a year later here I am ending the challenge with my blog and it all started here! Thanks to Marg at The Intrepid Reader and Baker for hosting this challenge.
Below is my list of books I read in 2022. Reviews for each book can be found on my blog ShellieLovesBooks. My goal was 25 books and I read 27 (not counting other genres like history, etc.) so I'm pretty pleased with that. Something I noticed was the number of sequels and certain authors I gravitate to. While it is fun to read and review new books I find it hard to let go of characters I love. In the coming year I'm going to try to work on more classics and new books but it will be a challenge!
Happy reading everyone!

Congratulations on reaching your goal! I read Go Tell the Bees that I Am Gone this year too and I've also read and enjoyed The Land Beyond the Sea and the two Elizabeth Peters books - I must continue with that series soon.
ReplyDeleteI guess I missed that you had read Bees too...I will have to read your review. Or maybe you didn't review that one. I know we don't have time to review every book.
DeleteGood work! I've enjoyed a few of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!
