My 2023 Reading Challenge

 

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,

   My turn! I look forward to reading some awesome new books in 2023. Since beginning my author journey, I have read less fiction. I look forward to reading as many books as I can.

In the past my numbers have been:

• 2015- 17 books
• 2016- 50 books
• 2017- 30 books
• 2018- 101 books
• 2019- 104 books
• 2020- 53 books
• 2021- 9 books
• 2022- 5 books

As I finish reading my choices, I will highlight them in bold print.
