Recap: My 2022 reading list -- Finished 105 of 100

A confessed bibliophile (Read: book addict), I set a personal reading goal for 2022 to get through 100 books. My actual year-end total turned out to be 102.

This total did not include books I wrote, children's books I read (again and again), the Bible (which I read cover-to-cover with a few friends), devotionals, Bible studies, cookbooks, reference books, magazines, newspapers, etc. It's just full-length, cover-to-cover reads for the past year. 

 

Following is the complete list of titles I read in 2022. Inclusion in this list does not necessarily imply recommendation or endorsement. It only indicates completion of each read.
