A Year in Books – Quarter Two 2022

My reading tailed off a little the further into the year I went, but I still think I made good headway with reading through some of my back log, as well as a whole host of new titles. As ever, there were far too many books to tempt me, and I have more purchases than actual books read (what’s new right?) but I’m having fun. Don’t judge 😝

47 books read in quarter two. Quite a few short stories or novellas in that list though so not quite as impressive at it may first appear though. Still happy with the running total though, and there are some absolute amazing books in the mix, so who could ask for more? That set me at 92 books year to date. Not bad for six months reading around a full time job, huh?
