I had a sad, sad year in 2021 and read very few books. I think my mood will do better if I read more, so I'm joining a reading challenge - or two - and hoping this will spur me to turn more pages than I did in 2021. Here's the plan, subject to change:
- Winter theme: Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik
- Women's History: Hild by Nicola Griffith (a reread)
- Animal: The Conference of the Birds by Ransom Riggs or maybe Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
- Technology: To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini
- Time Travel: Kindred by Octavia Butler
- National Park: Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed
- Unread Bestseller: The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones
- Thriller: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
- Short stories or poems: Felon: Poems by Reginald Dwayne Betts (reread)
- Other Ethnic: Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice
- Child narrator: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
- Holiday: Letters from Father Christmas by JRR Tolkien
