According to Goodreads, I read 103 books in 2022. And, because I can’t resist jumping in on the best-of-2022 list fun, these are my ten favorites.

The Girl from Berlin is a World War II perspective you don’t come across often in historical fiction. The book is told in popular style of alternating timelines, which I normally enjoy, but didn’t love in this book. The two timelines are only 10 years apart, the first beginning in 1936 and the second in 1946.

I was the kid hiding a book under my desk at school, trying to read instead of listening to the math lesson. I used my daily piano “practice” as extra reading time, absently plunking the keys with one hand while turning the pages of my book with the other…

I stayed on track with my reading goals this month, and read 5 books (plus a lot of the Mixed Up Truck, Firefighters A to Z, and Llama, Llama Red Pajama).

Any other bookworms out there? Reading has always been one of my favorite things, and I used to ALWAYS have my nose in a book, and a book in my purse just in case I had a free minute.
