100 books in 2022
Another year, another hundred books. Again, to be fair, I’m an audiobook girly til I die, and listen at a minimum of 2x the normal speed so that is a big factor in finishing so many books. Also, if you don’t count audiobooks as books you’ve “read” we are different breeds of readers.
I tried to do a top 10 for fiction/nonfiction but it ended up being a top 16 for each. SO many good books this year. My ratings were all over the place, so if any on the list pique your interest, please ask! 📚
