My 2022 New Year's Resolutions + Word of the Year.

     New year = new goals! I'm excited to share my 2022 resolutions with you today, as well as my word of the year. And we will also check in to see how my 2021 goals turned out. (Spoiler: although I didn't share it publicly in last year's resolutions blog post, my top resolution for 2021 was to move and get a new job. CHECK! 😊)

The Best Books I Read in 2021.

       My reading goal for 2021 was 40 books, and I actually exceeded it slightly and read 42 books! Read and listened to I should say, as this was the first year in many that I got back into listening to e-books.

      Looking back over my Goodreads for 2021, I was reminded that I read a lot of average books this year. In these blog posts I only recap the absolute best books of a year (ones I'd recommend to everyone), the ones that I gave five stars to on Goodreads. That was surprisingly only six books in 2021!! Three fiction and three non-fiction. I'm hoping 2022 will bring more five star reads, but for now let me recap my six favorites of last year:
