Hi Carol! This is lovely. I can't wait to see what you have planned for 2022. I am nearly finished with my two December books for 2021, so I am just deciding what I can read for 2022. Merry Christmas!!

>14 deaflower: Thank you. I'm working on January's list now. Merry Christmas to you also.

>15 Carol420: I'm not sure what to put in my seasonal months. I've chosen random genres for each season, and I have bingo cards to give me ideas, but I've still to decide. I think that I'm focusing on getting the last two books for 2021 finished first.

Hullo Carol and what lovely ideas for 2022!! I am thinking of ways I will change up my reading lists for the new year and I am glad to see your organization and thoughts for the future.

Have a happy reading year!

>17 threadnsong: Thank you. Just do what makes you happy. I love seeing what my friends on these sites come up with. Just enjoy your reads whatever they may be.
