MustReadin2022 - Fourteen to Love
Thanks to Cheriee Weichel and Leigh Anne Eck who continue this really important tradition, originated by Carrie Gelson, see the graphic above. If you wish to link a post for 2022, Leigh Anne is gathering HERE until the end of January
Remember I work at a used bookstore with co-workers and customers also recommending their recent "great reads". My list grows longer there, too, in addition to reading all your posts, and ones on Monday with the #IMWAYR group, on twitter, etc. It's a pleasure that I won't whine about. How could we ever tire of learning about good books?
Here's my round-up for last year of those I've read, and I've added the link to my Goodreads review of them. I will add two others to my list from 2022. I READ NINE OF TWELVE ON THE LIST.
With The Fire on High - Elizabeth Acevedo
Clap When You Land - Elizabeth Acevedo

One note: I just picked up Gary Paulsen's final book, Northwind from my local Indie,
Tattered Cover. While bittersweet, I know I'll read it soon, too. He has given us many stories to love. FINISHED
I loved Doodleville, Charming is a Verb and Echo Mountain. I envy you working at a used bookstore!
