Did you see Sheila of Book Journey has put up her 8th annual First Book of the Year photo compilation for 2022?
My book cover doesn’t show up well in my photo, but I’m reading Crossroads by Jonathan Franzen as my first book. I usually choose a big book for the first, and I guess I’m not the only one!
Currently Reading
Crossroads (Farrar, Strauss, Giroux, 2021) by Jonathan Franzen
About to Start Reading
The Archive of the Forgotten (Penguin, 2020) by A. J. Hackwith
A Christmas gift from my mother-in-law who gave me a gift card! This will be the book I read on my breaks at work.
Temporarily Not Reading
Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women’s Anger by Rebecca Traister
This one is still on hold. Have a few other nonfiction books I might read first…

Eleven Pipers Piping by C. C. Benison
Recently Listened To
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James
The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James is a dual-timeline suspense story set at a haunted motel. Excellent audiobook narration by Brittany Pressley & Kirsten Potter.
Better Off Dead by Lee Child
Not my favorite Jack Reacher story, but has all the elements Lee Child fans expect!
This post is linked to “It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?” hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. Check out the link-up party there for more book lists!
Hope you enjoy Crossroads as much as I did! Happy 2022!
I enjoyed Crossroads; hope you do as well. I also loved Sundown Motel.
I like your picture. I grew out what I called my “COVID color hair” since March-2019. So happy I did – and wished I did it earlier.
Interesting book list. I didn’t think much about which book to read to start the year, but I picked one that my sister had given me for Christmas and enjoyed it.
