This year, I’m not doing a reading challenge. They’ve guided and expanded my reading in previous years, but more recently have felt constraining and somewhat joyless. Continuing with one then, seems silly. So this year, I’m reading whatever brings me joy and fits my mood. But I’m going to use a few guiding principles based on things that I want to accomplish. I want to continue or finish some book series that I’ve already started. I want to read primarily from books that I already own. I want to read one fiction, one nonfiction, and one devotional/spiritual/wellness book per month. So without further ado, here is my December 2022 Reading List!
