December Book Recap + Some 2022 Reading Goals

I kept hoping I’d finish one more before the end of the year, but that didn’t happen. Oops. But! I did read 119 books last year. So, that’s like something, right?


December was a bit of a slow month for me. All the construction going on in the house made it tough to read, even when no one was here working. The clutter, the crap piled everywhere, Taylor’s incessant whining about how messy the house was… it took a toll on me.


What I Read:

The Demon in the Wood – Leigh Bardugo. A prequel to the Shadow and Bone series. Short bit of insight into the Darkling’s past.

Enchantments: A Modern Witch’s Guide to Self-Possession – Mya Spalter. Meh. Not the best written book of this kind I’ve read.

Blue Flag Volumes 2 & 3 – Kaito. I love this series and can’t wait to get more volumes.

The Witching Tree – Alice Blanchard. I love this series! I found the first in the series on sale and bought it last month, can’t wait to get into it.

Roll Against Discovery – Allyson Lindt. Not the best in this series, but then, they’re all kinda PWP menages so I’m not sure what I was expecting. LOL

56 Days – Catherine Ryan Howard. A different approach to a murder mystery and I liked it.


Books in Progress:

At the Crossroads – B. J. Daniels

Stone Cross – Marc Cameron


January’s TBR (tentative):

Winterwood – Dorothy Eden (group read Gothic Romantic Suspense group)

The Ex-Husband – Karen Hamilton (ARC that publishes 1/18)

Such a Pretty Smile – Kristi DeMeester (ARC that publishes 1/18)

One of the following for The Story Inside LJ comm

A Tale of Two Murders – Heather Redmond

The Whisper Man – Alex North

Smoke Eaters – Sean Grigsby


2022 Goals

Read 125 books

Read at least one print book from my stash each month

Read at least one Agatha Christie book.

To not buy books just because they look good. Hahaha.


I think that’s it for the moment. Hope you all had an enjoyable, safe New Years.
