Following my yearly tradition (and inspired by President Obama), I’m recording the books I’d most recommend that I read this year. I covered a lot of ground, with 30 books read (technically 30.5 - not going to finish that last one before midnight). I enjoyed reading a lot of fiction with my 4th grader, though none of them made this list.
As with the prior year, I fell in deep to some poetry. Both the bite-size snippets and my mindset allowed me to really enjoy it. I also appreciated essays and works with discrete parts - I read very few large tomes that I truly enjoyed.
All of my recommended authors are women, though I hadn’t set out for it to be that way, I’m unsurprised that’s how it ended up.
My bookshelf for 2022 is already filling up, and I’m so excited to take it on.
