Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

Hello 2022! My big reading goal for this year is to reduce the number of books I own but have not read. There is no way I won't buy books this year, but hopefully I can read more than I purchase. My owned-not-read shelf sat at 290 as the year began. We will see how I do.

I plan to re-read the Wayward Children series this year and maybe InCryptid. Looking forward to a great reading year!
