I finished the year with 109 reads. On this list are one repeat and a couple of missed books that I couldn’t find on Goodreads. I forgot to go back and add them later and also forgot which books it was 🙂 So I just left it as is.
I am trying for 75 books this year and hoping for 100. Happy reading everyone 🙂
Well done!! You read many of the books I read last year as well. I’m delighted to see Amanda on your list of books read, Denise. Happy reading for 2023!!
Thanks, Darlene 🙂 I know Amanda is on my 2023 reading list too! Happy 2023 reading.
Congratulations, and best wishes to the New Year, Denise! I think i will need more than five lives reading so much. xx Michael
Thank you, Michael! The very same to you as well 🙂 I barely put a dent in my reading list. Yes, more lives to read would help.
Well done! Happy 2023 Reading, Denise!
Thank you, Liz 🙂 Happy reading in 2023 to you too!
You’re welcome, Denise!
Congratulations on reading so many books in one year!
Thanks, Karen 🙂 I enjoyed being able to do it!
That’s some good reading! Happy reading for 2023, Denise! 💕🙂
Thanks, Harmony 🙂 It sure was!
That an amazing number of books. I’m honored to see several of my covers on the graphics.
Thanks, Craig:) Lots of late nights but I enjoyed it!
Isn’t it fun to look back over the year at what you’ve read? We have several books in common. It was a great reading year!
I do enjoy seeing all I’ve read at the end of the year, Priscilla 🙂 Yes, we had a great select of new books this year, I agree!
I’m honored to have made the cut (more than once!) last year. You read a lot, and I recognized many titles I enjoyed. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes on a great 2023 (reading and in general).
I caught up on some series and new reads. I enjoyed wvery moment of it. Thank you, Staci. Best wishes back to you for a great 2023 in reading and general too!
That’s a lot of books. I managed 78. Set a goal of 75 this year, but I hope to read more. Happy reading, Denise!
It is, Joan, but at the time I doesn’t feel like it. I think 75 is the perfect goal too. Happy reading 🙂
You did well, Denise. That’s a little over two books per week covering the course of a year. I see several that I read in the last year too. I set my goal for 52 this year (one per week). It’s interesting to see how we fare at the end of the year.
Thanks, Pete 🙂 I think short stories help tip it to the two per week goal. One a week is a great goal, and where I started. It was a wonderful year for reading and fun to keep track.
I see lots of good books on that list, Denise. Next time you can’t find a book on Goodreads, let me know. I’m a Goodreads Librarian and can add it for you.
Best for 2023!
Thank you, Jacqui. I should make note of books I couldn’t post but I’m always on to the next thing. I appreciate your offer, good to know!
You are amazing, Denise. Some great books in your list. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, John, I do lose some sleep but sure enjoy it. It was another great reading year.
That’s a ton of great reading, Denise. It’s interesting that I too, set my Goodreads goal lower this year than last. I set it at 85 books instead of 95. 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
It was another great year, especially with all the fantastic new releases. I kerp my goal at 75 so I don’t stress myself but always hope for 100. Good luck on your goal and happy reading.
Congratulations on acing your challenge, Denise. What a great collection of books that contributed–I’m sure–to many wonderful hours of reading. I managed 108 read in 2022, and set my new goal for 85 (though I hope I can hit 100 again).
Thanks, Mae, congrats to you too! All the great books make it’s a pleasure to accomplish. I like to go low with the challenge and not add any stress to it. Once I go over its all a bonus 🙂 Happy reading to you!
That’s an impressive list Denise and I am glad to be a part of it. 🥰 Wishing you another year of prolific reading.
Thank you, Balroop 🙂 I’m lucky to have so many great books to read in our community! I wish you the same for your reading year.
You are a superstar reader Denise! Amazing job, and thanks for reviewing them too!
Thank you, Eden:) I really enjoy it!
That is an amazing number of books and reviews Denise and so many authors supported and honoured to have my books included.. thank you so much ♥
Thanks, Sally 🙂 I had a good year. We are lucky to have such a talented writing community to support and enjoy. I am still working my way through your wonderful catalog. xo
Thanks very much Denise I appreciate that ♥
I didn’t manage anywhere near that number of books read. I am trying to read more in 2023. I am so happy to see my series in that group. Thanks again for reading and for the support you provided.
I built up to reading this many, then it became habit, plus, a lot of fun. I enjoyed your series, Dan 🙂
NIce list, Denise. We seem to read at about the same pace and our goals are close enough to call them the same. I loved seeing a ton of books in there that I recognized, including a couple of mine. Thank you so much for reading and I wish you a wonderful 2023 full of books.
Thanks, Diana 🙂 I get many books from your reviews and reminders on others they are waiting for me on my Kindle. It was a great reading year and I look forward to this one. Happy 2023!
I get all my reading recommendations from bloggers’ reviews, so I’m not surprised there’s overlap.
So many pretty covers! Thanks for including my books on your list, Denise. Here’s to another year of fantastic reads!
Yes there are, Jacquie 🙂 Still catching on your catalog. Almost there! Happy 2023 reading xo
I’m honored you’re working your way through my backlist- that’s awesome!
Wow! You’re a reading machine Denise! I’m going to check the books out. It was nice to see my new book cover up there too. <3
Lol. A more recent endeavor for me. It is fun though and ai enjoy every moment of it. Happy reading xo
I hear you! 🙂 xx
That’s a terrific number of books read – and reviewed! I’m in awe! Many thanks for the inclusion of mine. May 2023 bring you health, happiness, and more of your own writing, too! xx
Thank you, Alex 🙂 I enjoyed every one of them, including yours 🙂 I wish the very same for you xo

Jacqui is a super reader! I’m just happy to be able to do it right now.
Thank you so much for the mentions Denise. Happy reading 2023! 🙂
I had a good reading year! Happy reading to you too xo
Hi Denise, 109 books is a fantastic achievement. Well done.
Thanks, Robbie. A fun one!
Holy Hannah, 109! Denise, that’s a huge thing. I’m always wishing that I could be a fast reader. I’m afraid that is not a strong point for me.
You have my endless thanks for being such a huge supporter of the Journeys in my “Dead of Winter” series. Your reviews mean the world to me. That applies to the novella “A Peril in Ectoplasm” too.
Wishing you a relaxing year of happy reading and writing. Hugs.
I didn’t always read this many. I built up to it and it kindof became one of my better habits. I loved both the series and novelette! Hugs right back xo
