This is a year long Challenge Lila. All the challenges under Reading Challenges 2022 are year long.

I see you, Missy, Andrea, and I are all on the same track for next year - clean out shelves and Kindle. Mine are about to bury me. So this is my New Years' Book resolution.

Simone (simonec75) | 308 comments I'm in with 41+ books! I want to read as many books already on my "Christian fiction" (fiction) and "Religion" (nonfiction and religions other than Christianity) shelves (added before January 1, 2022) as possible. I made a dent in those in 2021 but feel like I need to read more instead of moving them down my TBR to read newly released books. The format doesn't matter to me. I have NetGalley books, audios, physical, and Kindle. The goal is to read the books regardless of the format.
