Reading 80 Books in 2022 🎉✨

Happy new year’s eve! 🥂

Since it’s the last day of the year, I thought it will be perfect to do a recap of all the books I have read this year. At the start of this year, I set my reading challenge on Goodreads as 50 books (a number that I believe is doable because I managed to read 51 books in 2020).

The year started out great- I managed to complete 10 books in January and steadily read consistent number of books throughout the year (hooray to no reading slumps).

I completed the challenge in June, and decided to increase the number up to 60, then to 70 and finally, to 80 just a couple of months ago. I am super thankful for every book I read and the adventure that the authors brought me on.
