As many of my friends on social media already know, I’m an avid reader and book lover. Fun fact - my colleagues all know that I’m a book lover too!

I’m proud to share that I met my reading goal this year with 88 books read in 2022. My goal was to read 84 which means I just met and exceeded by a few.

My goal for next year will be quite a bit lower because I have a baby coming towards the end of April and I want to be realistic about how much reading I’ll actually have time for and not be disappointed…
