2022 Personal Reading Challenge

May 22, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

2022 Personal Reading Challenge
Final Tally: 32

This isn’t a real thing at all. This page exists only because in the middle of 2023, I decided to create a challenge for myself. So for 2022, that makes no sense. Yet here we are. I’m curious how I did, not knowing I was doing anything.

The 2023 rules, applied unfairly to 2022:

  • Read 50 Books in 2022
  • No double counts across categories
  • NYT Bestsellers: Any adult # 1 books, 7/1/21-6/30/22
  • Only Favorite Author can be re-reads
  • At least one book must be Chunkster (400+ pages)
  • At least 25% must be women authors
  • Only books completed in calendar year count
  • Extra books are fine and fun
  • No cheating, you jerk
  • 5 Modern Library Top 100 Novels
