Booker Prize 2022: Longlist
I'm woefully behind on posting this since the longlist was announced a couple of weeks ago but since I plan on reading this list I still wanted to share. I have done something similar with the Women's Prize which I still need to do an update on. For the Booker Prize I organized this list… Continue reading Booker Prize 2022: Longlist
Camp Spoopathon Wrap Up
I had a great time reading some spooky books last week for Camp Spoopathon. This was a readathon where points mattered so you can defeat the killer and because of that I had to read two books for one prompt so I could get to the points threshold.

2021 Reading Survey
We are in the last week of of 2021 so I thought I would wrap up my year in reading. I have a couple of review books that I will be reading this week but I don't think either of those books will impact my answers for this survey.

I may have completely failed at my 12 books I wanted to read last year but I am determined to complete this list in 2022.

Most Disappointing Books of 2021
I only have four books that I read and didn't really enjoy this year. I feel like I did a really great job of realizing pretty quickly when a book isn't going to work for me and just putting it aside. Maybe I'll get even better at it next year and I won't have any… Continue reading Most Disappointing Books of 2021
