Attention book lovers! I’ve set myself a reading challenge for 2022 and I’d love for you to join me.
I’ve only included 12 books in the challenge because I know what it’s like to be a busy mum. However, I’ll also include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year.
Spending another year in and out of lockdown meant I had a bit more time to read in 2021 and I managed to read 28 books. You can see which ones were my favourites here. You can see how I went in my 2021 reading challenge here.
I’m going to try and read 28 books again this year. I’ve just started a new migraine treatment too, so hopefully, I’ll have fewer migraines and it will be easier for me to read more.
I can’t wait to get started on this challenge and hopefully find some new favourites that I just can’t put down.

Thanks Kim. Can’t wait to see what you read this year. Make sure you tag me on Instagram and use #mmreadingchallenge2022 as well.
this came up as a sponsored post on my FB, and I’m like, “yes I’m in”. A lot of your themes are my themes, so it made sense to play along.
In 2021 read the most books I have ever read in a year (70), this year I’m aiming for 52 (a book a week). I always have a physical book (or ebook), and audiobook on the go.
I’m also making sure I do more book reviews both on my blog and on tiktok.
Wow Matilda! 70 books in one year is fantastic.

Thanks for joining the challenge Meena. I cannot wait to see what you read.
I love this list and I love that it’s themed and not an actual set list.
Currently reading – It ends with us by Colleen Hoover. I read. This could fit into a few categories- pretty cover or previous author from ‘21
Hi Naterlee, welcome to the challenge.
I just finished “It Ends with Us” and thought it was really good. I’m looking forwards to reading more of her books.

I’ve read a number of others that are not on the list, so I better start focusing on the ones I still need to read from here.
I still cannot believe that 2022 has come to an end. I feel like this year has absolutely flown by.
I read 29 books in 2022, and discovered some terrific authors that I have not read before.
Unfortunately, I did miss a few books for the challenge because I kept getting sidetracked reading books that I saw people recommending on Instagram. I’ll see if I can read the ones I missed in 2023.
