Booklist Queen's 2022 Reading Challenge

Each year, I take on different reading challenges as a way to get outside of my reading comfort zone. For 2022, I plan to read a total of 104 books in 2022 by completing the 52 Book Club's 2022 reading challenge and the Booklist Queen 2022 Reading Challenge. If you'd like to participate in this 2022 reading challenge, visit www.booklistqueen.com/reading-challenge-2022.

Below is the list of reading prompts for the 2022 reading challenge which I'll start on January 1, 2022. After I finish each reading prompt, I'll update this list.
