2022 Year-End Recap

Snapshot of Goodreads "My Year in Books" with 22,935 pages read and 85 books read"The most shocking thing this year is that I was able to read anything after June 30. Between work being ridiculous love the summer, long-delayed pandemic vacations, and starting school again I’m shocked I read as much as I did.

You can definitely see a bit of a dip after June, but MM Romance novels kept my numbers up and probably will continue to keep them up over the next two years. My page count is way down, but what can you do? At least I’m still finding time to read.

A Dozen Years of Book Blogging

What a year it’s been! Since last July, I finished a graduate certificate, started an MA program, and got a promotion at work. We traveled more than we have in the past two years, got COVID (ugh) from traveling, and as I’m typing this I’m in the airport waiting to hop on a last-minute flight to Chicago for a work thing (I don’t usually travel for work).

I’ve also read 116 books! That sounds like a lot, but it includes so many romance novels, quite a few graphic novels and manga, and not enough nonfiction, which is par for the course these days. That being said starting school again I’m sure I’ll be reading quite a bit of nonfiction but not blogging about it since it’s more long passages and chapters than entire books.

June Recap 2022

What a month! It started with us getting Covid from our trip to Texas (not bad cases, just knocked us out for a few days), was immediately followed by my graduate school program starting in the middle of makeup events at work from the last two years, with a birthday trip for Tim (thankfully drivable this year to Upstate NY), and the busiest time of the year at work in general for me (end of the fiscal year).

May Recap 2022

May did NOT fly by even though we spent a long weekend in North Conway, NH for our 8th anniversary and flew to Texas at the end of the month for graduation parties. Add in that work picked up with the end of the fiscal year coming up fast and school starts the first week of June, I’m trying to figure out how it felt like a regular full-length long-ass month.

I got a lot of knitting done, more on that later, and read SO many books. I’m ready for summer, but not really ready for the heat so we’ll see how long that lasts.

April Recap 2022

We had a busy month full of hiking, travel, and knitting.

We kicked the month off by flying to Dallas for a family wedding and got to spend time with all of Tim’s family, but most importantly the niblings. It was great to see everyone, but what a whirlwind trip. We also had a bit of free time the day before the wedding and got to experience the Main St Fort Worth Arts Festival and Fort Worth Art Fair (hilariously even met an artist from Western Mass that we had a piece shipped home from).
