2022 So you’re a compulsive book buyer who rarely reads the books you buy Reading Challenge

Starts: Saturday, 01 January 2022

Ends: Saturday, 31 December 2022

In 2021, while I read 136 ebooks I got from the library, I continued my book hoarding ways: signing up for mail order book boxes, buying books recced on TikTok (and podcasts) because I wanted to support a new writer, collecting books for a new class I am teaching in 2022. . .

Did I read any of these books?

You know the answer to that–that is why you clicked on this reading challenge.

This is my gentle attempt to validate some of these purchases. Please join me.
