1. Chicken Soup for the Soul: What I Learned from the Cat by Jack Canfield finished in June
2. Chicken Soup for the Soul: My Very Good, Very Bad Cat by Amy Newmark

Very clever! Good luck with your 2022 reads!

Love the set up. Good luck!

Nice setup and lovely pictures. Have a good reading year!

>13 lowelibrary: Awww, cozy kitty! Have a great reading year!

What a lovely set up, I smiled at every single picture!

Some great ideas. Love the non-fiction cartoon.

Lovely setup and the pictures are wonderful! Have a great reading year!

You always have the best pictures! Enjoy your 2022 reading.

I liked the pictures, too. Especially the Cat Library!

Have fun with your new challenge.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I spend weeks looking for the right pictures. So glad it is worth the effort.

>23 lowelibrary: It was certainly worth the effort. I keep coming back to try and decide which one is my favourite - they all are!

I love your cat theme!

>25 thornton37814: thank you
>24 VivienneR: come back monthly. I add a cat pic to suit the month. My favorite is >13 lowelibrary: but that is Little One, my 18-pound baby

Love the images you chose! Your Little One looks very much like our Mayhem. What a sweet photo.

I love your cat pictures! My kitties also approve.

When we downsized, I got rid of all my Cat Who books, then immediately wanted them back. I managed to acquire quite a few at a book sale in October, and a few more on my Kindle. They are part of my challenges for 2022 as well.

>27 Crazymamie: I would love to see Mayhem on your thread someday
>28 LadyoftheLodge: I may have some extra copies lying around somewhere

Thanks to my husband's Christmas gift I have a year-long read.
Harry Potter: A Magical Year has daily quotes from all the novels. I will gladly visit this daily and relive the novels

JANUARY READS

1. The Cat Who Went Bananas by Lillian Jackson Braun
Interesting story of Qwill and the cats. The mystery was just a background event.

2. The Anthology: Part 1 by Garth Brooks
Behind the songs on the first 5 albums. Only for a true fan.

3. Black Creek Crossing by John Saul
80's style horror book about haunted house with a cat.

4. American Indian Stories by Zitkala-Sa
Stories of Native American life. Originally published in 1921.

5. Fangs by Sarah Anderson
A graphic novel love story between vampire and werewolf

6. Christmas in Oklahoma by Linda Kennedy Rosser
Stories had potential to be interesting, but boring writing.

7. The Family Lawyer by James Patterson
One really good story. One okay and one sorry story.

8. The Desolations of Devil's Acre by Ransom Riggs
The last Miss Peregrine novel.

9. Everything You Wanted To Know About Indians But Were Afraid To Ask by Anton Treuer
Straight forward answers aimed at white people.

>30 lowelibrary: What a thoughtful gift!

>29 lowelibrary: Are you interested in offloading your extras?

>33 LadyoftheLodge: I sure would, but it will take me a month to figure out where I put them. LOL.

>28 LadyoftheLodge: I think I might join you two this year. I read the first few way back in the day and remember enjoying them.

**takes out notebook of series to read this year...flips several pages looking for a free line...flips a few more and squeezes it in at the bottom of the page** Okay, off to the library I go.

>34 lowelibrary: Okay, let's talk when you are ready! I get that about finding books. . ..

>35 dreamweaver529: That would be great! LOL

>34 lowelibrary: I will let you know as soon as I find them
>35 dreamweaver529: Please do join in. I am 3 books away from finishing and already missing Qwill, KoKo and Yum Yum.

After following other threads, I have decided to try out posting books individually to see if I enjoy it. This year I am only doing posts on books I highly enjoyed and recommend.

The first recommendation of the year is Fangs by Sarah Anderson. A love story between a vampire and a werewolf.
I first read this book on Tapas in 2020 when I discovered the cartoon accidentally (probably on Instagram). I was excited to hear they were printing them in a book and immediately put it on my wish list. When I received it for Christmas, I devoured it in one sitting and will be reading it often.

>39 lowelibrary: This looks fun, and I love the cover! Adding it to The List - and my library system has it.

>39 lowelibrary: Okay, solid BB. I just picked it up from the library and read the whole thing. Absolutely loved it. I'll be reading it a few more times before I send it back. May even have to get a copy for myself.

>41 dreamweaver529: I am so glad you enjoyed it.

My second recommendation on the year is Black Creek Crossing by John Saul
Great story about a haunted house. The story centers around the people involved and not strictly on the house. Plus a cat is a central character (always a plus in my book). More subtle than Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

I read the final book of the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs. My third recommendation of the year is the entire series. These are quick easy reads and the final book The Desolations of Devil's Acre brings the series full circle.

In January I read 9 books.

FEBRUARY READS

1. Santa Mouse by Michael Brown
Children's classic from the '60s.

2. The Cat Who Dropped A Bombshell
Starting to feel sad. Do not want to leave Pickax behind.

3. Maus by Art Spiegelman
A graphic novel about a Holocaust survivor's memories.

4. Maus II by Art Spiegelman
The conclusion to the above book. Mainly detention camp horrors.

5. You'll Never Know, Dear by Hallie Ephron
Good story but too predictable for me.

6. The Private Life of Spiders by Paul Hillyard
Facts about spiders.

7. Dewey's Nine Lives by Vicki Myron
Stories about cats. Influenced by Dewey's memory.

8. Gus Loved His Happy Home by Jane Thayer
Gus occupies his time while the museum is closed.

9. Morris Has A Cold by Bernard Wiseman
My son's favorite childhood story. Found it and reread it before giving it to him for his son.

10. Tales of Suspense by Edgar Allan Poe
The good ones were really good. The bad ones were a struggle to finish.

11. Gus and the Baby Ghost by Jane Thayer
Great re-read of a childhood favorite.

12. Mimi Lee Gets A Clue by Jennifer J Chow
This is a very cute cozy. Love Marshmallow.

My fourth recommendation of the year is Maus and Maus II. This was my first time reading the books. The graphic novel style makes it easy to read for middle school and yet the content pays respect to the survivors without undermining the horrors of the Holocaust.

In February I read 12 books.
Year to date 21 books.

MARCH READS

1. The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers by Lilian Jackson Braun
A fitting end and goodbye to old friends.

2. Geek Girls Unite by Leslie Simon
A tribute to geek girls. Meant for teens and kinda dated.

3. Bait and Witch by Angela M Sanders
Cute concept. The story did not live up to its potential.

4. Magnificent Moments by George H Harrison
Top photographers show and tell their favorite photos.

5. The Dark Half by Stephen King
Great story about a writer and his pseudonym. Stories like this are why I love Stephen King.

6. The Cat Who...Cookbook by Julie Murphy and Sally Abney Stempinski
Companion read for The Cat Who series. Recipes for meals that are mentioned in the books.

7. The Cat Who...Reunion Cookbook by Julie Murphy and Sally Abney Stempinski
Traditional family reunion recipes with tidbits about characters (even the cats) from the series.

8. Sugar and Salt by Susan Wiggs
Great characters, good past stories, but present and romance are rushed.

9. There's Snow Time Like Cookie Time by Suzanne Heins
Cute little snowman story about waiting to eat cookies.

10. The Christmas Pig by JK Rowling
Cute story about lost toys. Made me fell like a child reading it.

My fifth recommendation is The Cat Who series by Lilian Jackson Braun. These are great cozy mysteries that focus more on the characters than the crimes.

Recommendation six is for all the Stephen King fans out there. If you have not read The Dark Half, it is one of his better books. This is the type of writing and unexpectedness that made me love Stephen King in the first place.

>51 lowelibrary: I must admit I'm too much of a scaredy-cat to try Stephen King! (I loved his writing memoir On Writing, but I'm far too much of a wimp to try his fiction!)

>52 Jackie_K: Try The Eyes of the Dragon, it is a fairy tale he wrote for his daughter. Not much horror in my opinion.

>53 lowelibrary: Thank you!

In March, I read 10 books.
Year to date 31 books

A badly written poorly thought-out book.

6. Book Nerd by Holly Maguire

>62 lowelibrary: Happy Thingaversary! Sounds like a good haul. I am intrigued by the cat books, since two of my four cats are black cats. They graciously (grudgingly) allow us to live in their house, but expect to be pampered in return.

Happy Thingaversary!

>62 lowelibrary: Happy Thingaversary! Enjoy reading your haul!

>63 LadyoftheLodge:, >64 DeltaQueen50:, >65 thornton37814: Thank you. I am looking forward to reading these sooner rather than later.

Happy Thingaversary! That's a great haul! The Fire Rose looks intriguing, I'll take a BB on that one.

>67 VivienneR: Thank you. That book was a BB for me from JayneCM.

Hi April. I'm just stopping by to look around your challenge topic. There is no doubt you are a cat fan! :-) I am in agreement with you about Stephen King novels, as I am worried they would give me nightmares. Wishing you many months more of happy reading for your 2022 challenges.

Recommendation number eight.
I will never not recommend this book. My favorite fairy tale. I bought this at a yard sale strictly for the cover art, only to get it home and find it autographed by Marianna Mayer. Gorgeous illustrations throughout the book by Mercer Mayer.

MAY READS

1. Run, Rose, Run by James Patterson and Dolly Parton
Parts of the book are great and held my interest. Other parts were unnecessary.

2. The Brain Is Kind Of A Big Deal by Nick Seluk
Love his Instagram. This turned out to be more informative than comical. Great for kids.

3. The Polar Express by Charles Van Allsburg
The original story the movie is based on.

4. The Bathroom Funny Pages by Russ Edwards
Same old jokes we have all heard, but it killed the time.

5. Among Animals 3 by John Yunker
The collection promises to challenge, enlighten and inspire you. It didn't.

6. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
A good detective novel, though the end should have been different.

7. Short & Tall Tales by Lilian Jackson Braun
The book Qwill always promised to write.

8. I Shudder At Your Touch by Michele Slung
Short horror stories with sexual undertones.

11. Red and Lulu by Matt Tavares
Amazing story about 2 cardinals and the Rockefeller Christmas tree.

12. Just Hand Over the Chocolate and No One Will Get Hurt by Karen Scalf Linamen
Self-help book disguised with humor. Too religious for me.

14. Dasher by Matt Tavares
The story of how Dasher and family came to pull Santa's sleigh.

>74 lowelibrary: LOL!

This book is for anyone who loves fairy tale retellings. The story has the basic framework from the originals with modern twists. This is the fairy tale book I wanted as a teen. I would have related more to these characters than the dressed-down versions Disney provided.

In June, I read 14 books.
