Pop Sugar 2022 finished with one day to spare…

 Pop Sugar 2022~fin

I did not finish PS Advanced for the first time in many years. I had trouble concentrating on my reading. Pan Can has taken my joy in life. I live with fear for my hubby. Seeing him suffer is so overwhelming. But this is what I have. The Sentence by Louise Erdrich, Crying in H Mart and The Matrix by Lauren Groff were my  favorite reads this year. These books set me apart from mainstream readers. I can’t read the best sellers by Colleen Hoover or Taylor J Reid. Just no. Guided by Pop Sugar and Read Harder I read a diverse number of books. A few were not great but they met the challenge criteria. I have enjoyed Audible this year. I read 51 books in 2022. I have a great TBR planned for 2023. I will be 72 in April 2023. Feeling mortal.
