Below are the books I read in 2022. I have tried to divide them by how much I enjoyed them and how valuable I found them.
Also, I read or listened to many of these books on Scribd, which is a monthly service offering a huge variety of digital books, audio books, and documents. It’s like Netflix for book lovers!
Use this link for a free sixty days of the service - it’s a great service.
