Ooh boy, I've got some BOTM backlists to catch up on, as well. Happy hiking!

Oh yes I have over 30 backlist BOTM books!

Wrapped up what I hoped would be the final book of my 2021 climb...but it can be the first book of 2022's climb instead!

Literally a new all-time favorite. I'm sad I let this just chill on my shelves for almost 3 years.

Have you read The Song of Achilles? Miller writes mythology so good!! Persephone is next!

Yes!! I loved The Song of Achilles, too! I also cried a lot in both books. Can't wait for Persephone to rip my heart out, too! 😂

haha totally!

A bit disappointed I didn't like this as much as I'd hoped, but it's still worth a read!
5.
Truly one of the weirdest books I've ever read in my life.
8.
A new all-time favorite poetry collection
10.
Knocking out a nearly 650-page modern classic at the start of the year feels really good.
11.
FINALLY I've finished something else. Covid ripped through my house and I just had no brain space for reading.

I've been having the worst reading slump OF MY LIFE.
Brave wrote: "I've been having the worst reading slump OF MY LIFE."Hang in there, it shall pass eventually. I found that if I just move onto something else, not force a particular book, just keep trying different books until one book clicks. Sometimes trying a different style or genre than usual may work.

I just haven't had the brain power to read I think. Just my mashed potato brain re-reading the same thing over and over and not holding onto it. Hahaha!

Tried a re-read of this middle school fave of mine. Held up decently.

Oooh I read this trilogy in middle/high school and LOVED it. Still own them, maybe a re-read soon!
15.
Finally got around to this one, which I've had as an ARC since maybe November of last year. I will absolutely be pressing it into the hands of every hearing person I know. Deaf culture, Deaf community, Deaf history, ASL...truly people around me will be forced to read this so they can better understand me. XD

I'm re-reading the first two because I never read the third book!! Trying to rectify that error. Hahahaha!

So many series from my teen years that weren't complete at the time and then because pre-Goodreads I didn't know when they finished, I never finished reading them. lol.

Yes!! This series and Eragon are the two I'd like to finally finish.
Brave wrote: "Yes!! This series and Eragon are the two I'd like to finally finish..."I have a love-hate relationship with the Eragon series! lol. But Paolini's adult sci-fi novel was really good!

I've been debating picking it up!! This definitely pushes me toward it!

A pre-order I loved!!
19.
My favorite installment of the Penric & Desdemona series so far!
20.
One of the last books I ordered in 2021, my January book of the month box books. I ordered them on New Year's Eve instead of socializing. Oops. 🤣
21.
Forgot this in my previous update!
22.
Found this ARC hiding in my pre-2022 section. What a wild ride!

Did you like it? I also chose it for BOTM but haven't read it yet.

I genuinely LOVED this one!! I love Caribbean fiction though, so I went into it assuming I'd enjoy it too. I loved a lot of what this book did, and I definitely think you should give it a go!! :) I wrote a lil review on my instagram @bravereads if you want to see what I thought! :)

Kate Stradling fairytale retellings: yes, yes, yes!

I've never heard of her but I love fairy tale retellings! Will definitely be checking out!

I've read two so far and I loved them both. They read and FEEL like fairytales still, if that makes sense. It's what I particularly enjoy!
25.
Another New Years Eve 2021 Book of the Month pick. 🤣
26.
FINALLY. I'm happy to have read this so I have an idea of the material in it, and I will be keeping it for reference, but it was kind of a slog to try and read straight through.
27.
28.
DNFThis book is definitely not for me, not at this point in my life.
May Plans, because having a plan helps me immensely:
these three will mean I've finished/caught up on a series!
series continuations/finishers
book club reads (that count for this challenge for me, C&F I've had as an ARC since last year!)
some stretch goals because i love to set fairly unrealistic goals LOL
29.
Finished a series! (Well, a duology, but it counts.)
30.
I love Kay O'Neill, and I was saving this one for a day when I needed it. Perfectly timed.
