Happy New Year, friends! 🎉🎉🎉Here are my favorite reads of 2022! As always, it was difficult to narrow it down. I read 10 novels for me, 10 middle grade novels with my 11 year old, 1 graphic novel, 4 poetry books, & 40 nonfiction books.

Last night, my daughter glanced at the book stack on my nightstand and wrinkled her brow and asked “Mom, do you ever read for fun?” I told her my goal for 2023 is to read more for fun. “Read more fiction!” she advised.
