In 2023, I want to read more. But “more” isn’t very specific. So I looked up how much I read this year to set a specific goal for myself.

Looking back on your habits and setting new goals in relation to what you’re already doing will help you set realistic goals for yourself. And stick to them throughout the year.

If you’ve never gone rock climbing, you probably won’t climb Mt. Everest in 2023. But you might start going to the rock climbing gym by your house twice a month.

In 2022 I read 22 books! And I’ve compiled my favorites in this list in case your goal is to read more books this year. (Or if you’re just looking for some good recommendations.)

Here are my favorite fiction and nonfiction books I read this year.

Having just released my book, Listful Living: A List-Making Journey to a Less Stressed You, I’ve been doing a lot of media interviews.
