Ted's Reading Challenge for 2022

Happy New Year to all. I was (still am?) in a reading slump last year-new puppy, returning to work after retiring the previous fall, Covid, etc. so failed dismally to achieve 75 books read in 2021. Here's hoping I might get closer to 50 books in 2022.

1st one completed: The Reinvention of Love by Helen Humphreys. I usually love her books, but found this one a bit of a hard slog.

2. The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney. Not a fan-the only reason I finished it was that it was my book club's selection for this month.
