We know January is a time to think about intentions we have for the new year. As part of thinking about the year ahead, I have made a list of books I plan to read. The list includes titles that publish in 2022 that I think are must-reads. These are books that most pique my interest right now. I limited my list for the purposes of this post, but there are many other books that I hope to read and there are others that will come across my radar as the year goes on. To check out other must-read lists, follow #MustReadin2022 on Twitter.

ReplyDeleteI will be looking forward to reading many of the books on your list. I really wish there was more reading time in our lives. Happy Reading this year!
ReplyDeleteYou have shared some unfamiliar titles for me. Sometimes that can be dangerous. I am looking forward to reading Falling Short as I loved his first one. Going to add these to my Goodreads! Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful list of books to read this year, Lisa! I didn't know Ernesto Cisneros had a new book coming out (MG authors really do write new books so quickly!)—I'll have to see if I can cram that in at some point. And all the picture books look lovely too, especially Dear Reader. Thanks so much for the wonderful post!
ReplyDeleteFinally I have my list together so am now reading others, Lisa. Except for Creepy Crayon & Falling Short, each one is new! I'll keep working to find some of these too! Thanks!
