For 2022, my goal is 200 books including the 60 or so from this list (which started as 20). 200 books is considerably fewer than what I finished in 2021, but these books will be challenging for me to finish. Most are longer than my 162 page average from 2021. I chose them for multiple reasons. Many are ones sitting on my shelf that I need a little extra motivation to start and finish. Some I found by sorting my to-read list on Goodreads by average rating. Fighting Words, for example, has 6,553 ratings and an average of 4.7! Looks like a book I need to finally read! I'm hoping that this list will give me a little more focus so that when I'm deciding on a book to read, I won't be swept away by the latest book list but focus on these that I'd really like to finish.
2/1/22 update: By the end of January, I had read 49 books (again, many of them are with my kids and are quick reads, but they're all at least chapter books). I realized that I was on track to be able to read 365 books this year, so I adjusted my goal. I also finished my first 5 books of my list of 60 to read. I plan on spreading them out to 5 a month.
