Books: 2022 Goodreads reading challenge

[falcon_horus]

I managed to read 30 books in 2021.

This year's goal starts at 12 books, same as 2021. If it looks like I can do more, I'll up the goal.

Mind you, I'm currently reading 10 books and 1 magazine, and when one is finished I start on another so I'm always reading around 10 books at a time.

So, my current list of 10 books:

1. Insurrection by Robyn Young --> The epic story of Robert The Bruce (paperback -- English)
2. Alexander The Great by Lucius Flavius Arrianus --> Chronicles the Alexander's travels into Persia and India (paperback -- Dutch)
3. The Devil's Star by Jo Nesbo --> a murder myster (paperback -- English)
4. Trick Of The Light by Rob Thurman --> it has angels and demons (paperback -- English)
5. Blood Of The Fold by Terry Goodkind --> Book 3 in the Sword of Truth series (e-book -- English)
6. Mystery Of The Chinese Ring by Andy Adams --> Book 2 in the Biff Brewster series (e-book -- English)
7. The Lost Chapters Of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams --> self-explanatory (e-book -- English)
8. The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie --> first book in The First Law series (e-book -- English)
9. Mornings In Jenin by Susan Abulhawa --> "A heart-wrenching, powerfully written novel that could do for Palestine what The Kite Runner did for Afghanistan." (and heart-wrenching it is) (e-book -- Engish)
10. A Betrayal In Winter by Daniel Abraham --> second book in The Long Quartet series (e-book -- English)

And 1 magazine: National Geographic Magazine of May 2019.
Yes, I'm very far behind with those, hence why I am not going to renew my subscription again.

First book I finished this year (started it last year though) was Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond (paperback -- Dutch translation).

I'm always open to suggestions regarding books, and genre doesn't matter really. As you can see from the above list I'm open to anything.

I have 12 going, not including school books, and keep telling myself I'm going to weed it down to 5 or 6 but it doesn't seem to happen. Trick Of The Light sounds good, angels and demons will pretty much always win me over

I think the most I have read at the same time were 13 books, but that was at a time before I had an e-reader so there were literally 13 books lying next to me and I dragged them around the flat and the house. That was just crazy cause I also forgot where I left them, all scattered around like that. =P

Small stacks are better... but that e-reader is so easy and tempting to have more books. =P
