2022 Reading Challenge

Baker's Dozen Book Challenge

I love a fun reading challenge! When my author friends, Diane Kelly and Melissa Bourbon asked me to come up for a 2022 challenge for their Facebook Reading Group, The Book Warriors, I jumped at the chance. I hope you will consider joining me in this challenge, either by joining the Facebook Group or by posting your reads here at the end of the year. If you would like this list in a Word document, please comment and I will email it to you.

HAPPY READING IN 2022!
