Postscript to 2022: So, It’s not terrible, I did read a few books, but not nearly as much as I was hoping. I also kept forgetting to track things, and forgot that I read a few. For posterity’s sake, I loved the girls of paper and fire series, and since I looked it up to log it, found the third one is now out, so I’m adding that to my shopping list. I also really dug the style of Zoey punches the future in the dick and didn’t realize that it was the second, so as of January 2023, I went and bought everything my local Barnes and Noble had available, and am reading the first in the series as a prequel. I will be starting a new post for 2023 momentarily (so I don’t forget again) and will add a much shorter list. All those books are still on my bookshelf, I’m just going to make a top 20 or so as my target, which will make little difference in the order I actually pick them up off my shelf!
