2022: Year in Books
Happy New Year! As previous posts have shown, I have found that summarizing the year's reading in a post allows me to reflect, while also giving me a place to store the details. This post will summarize statistics, and also touch on a few of my favourite standalone reads and series' of 2022. Golden underlined titles are linked to my review for that book.
Stats:
# of books read in 2022: 173 books
# of pages read in 2022: 57,685 pages
2022 Goodreads Reading Challenge: 165 books (exceeded by 8 books)
If you are planning to read a few of the recommendations, I would strongly suggest to pay attention to the age ratings or genre groupings provided. If you would like specific ages, you will be able to find that out with a quick Google search. Most books recommended below are for young adults.
Young Adult: these books and their plots are generally targeted towards readers who are around 12 or 13 years old through 17 years old
Middle Grade: usually directed for children between the ages of 8 to 12 years old
To learn more about these age classifications, this article proves to be very useful and concise.

For larger cleanup projects, a reliable junk hauling service near me can save considerable time and effort. Professional hauling helps remove unwanted furniture, household items, and accumulated junk without requiring property owners to handle heavy or difficult materials themselves.
Exterior home improvements often involve several maintenance tasks at once, especially before seasonal events. Clean windows and well-maintained surfaces can improve overall presentation. If you are planning holiday preparations, Christmas Light Installation Services can be worth researching alongside other exterior maintenance needs.
I appreciate how the article highlights the importance of planning a landscape rather than choosing plants and features at random. Quality Landscape Installation Services can help create a cohesive outdoor space while considering the property’s layout, soil conditions, drainage, and long-term maintenance needs.
Unused sections of a property can become difficult to work with when vegetation becomes overgrown. Land clearing services can help open up these areas for future improvements.
Businesses often need reports that go beyond simply listing numbers. Professional financial reporting services can organize information into useful formats for reviewing performance and planning ahead. Accurate reporting can also help owners communicate financial results more clearly with managers, partners, accountants, or other stakeholders.
