My never ending quest to finish series. Lol. I'm attempting to finish at least 9 once again in 2022. I did pretty good in 2021, so let's hope I get a couple more done this year.
Level chosen: A-List Series Finisher — Finish 9+ Series

I'm not the best at reading new releases, hence this challenge. Lol. In 2021 (as of December 15th) I read 13 new releases, which is pretty great for me! However, I don't trust myself reading any more than that next year, so I'm gonna go for a nice, round 10 to aim for in 2022.

This challenge I added very last minute. Last year I ended up reading 4 non-fiction books, which is 3 more than my usual annual number 😅 The reason why I decided that I want to read more non-fiction books this year is because I really want to pick up more Japanese language learning books, and I'm hoping this challenge will push me to do just that. My goal is to read 5 non-fiction books in 2022 of any subject (but preferably of the language learning variety.)
1. How to Survive a Horror Movie by Seth Grahame-Smith

I attempted this challenge in 2021 and I almost completed it, except I missed 2 weeks in August 😩 I was working nights and my house was a disaster and... everything was just a mess. I am hoping that in 2022 I actually manage to read one book a week 🤞
