2022! Here it is.
An explanation for January. I only list books on these annual lists once I have fully finished reading. I must have buckled down the first few weeks of this year and plowed through all of the "mostly" finished titles on my nightstand. Apparently most of them were worth finishing!
Tapestry by Edith Schaeffer, read in June, was a particularly special experience this year, as it accompanied me around Scotland on a 5 weeks Sabbatical with our children.
The end of the year found me reading a number of displacement stories, which often reflected on the relationship between the author (who was a child) and their experience of their parents in the process of setting up a new life. Reading so many allowed me to think through similarities in the narratives and also, cultural and situational nuances.
Ended the year contentedly with A Gentlemen in Moscow, because it's still my all-time (non-Harry Potter) favorite.
As always, notable titles are bolded and italicized. Enjoy!
