Confessions of a Literary Addict

October was a doozy! Hurricane Ian waltzed on in and skewed all of my plans, but it did mean I had a lot of reading time with the power outage that happened after.

I read 22 books and 10 novellas (or short stories), which really kicked up my reading goal.

(Now if only I could get myself to sit down and read the rest of my 22 in 2022 books…)

Oof… 22 in 2022 isn’t looking great considering I have 3 months left and pretty much no want to read what I told myself to read. I’m gonna have to think of something different for next year, because I’m going to be very busy for a portion of it and I just KNOW I won’t be able to sit myself down and read preplanned books.

Guess we’ll see what I can figure out.

Thanks for reading!
