2022 Reading List
“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”
A whole new year to read many wonderful words. This year I did not set a specific book number goal for myself. I got honestly obsessed about the number last year and now that I am working toward becoming a counselor I am reading so much for my program. So when I have time for other reading, I am reading to read. I am reading to learn, to grow, to escape, to live. Not just to reach a number. Here is what I read in 2022:

Cheers to a year of reading as much as I could while I was in my first year of grad school for counseling that required an immense amount of other reading. Happy pages to you all!
