Book Reviews and More: Top Ten Fiction and Non-Fiction Books Third Quarter 2022

Top Ten Fiction and Non-Fiction Books Third Quarter 2022

It has been good year for reading so far. So many great reads. I have read just over a book and a half a day. I read 87 books this quarter and 344 so far this year. Part of it is due to my youngest two children’s reading skills really growing and they read to/with me for 20 minutes four or five days a week. In the spring of 2016, I worked through Brandon Vogt’s course Read More Books Now (now available on ClaitasU).

But back to this quarter by the numbers:

Books Read: 87

First Time Reads: 76

Fiction: 42

Non-Fiction: 45

5/5 Stars: 61
