2022 Goodreads Choice Awards Reading Challenge
2022 Goodreads Choice Awards Reading Challenge
By: Brittany Shields
The 2022 Goodreads Choice Awards have been announced!
This is the second reading challenge I’ve done like this.
I’ve listed the winner of each category in bold and listed some of the other nominees for each category as well. A full list of the nominees and descriptions can be found at the link above.
My goal is to read at least one book from each category as these are supposedly the best of the best! We shall see if they’ve earned their spots.
The ones I plan to read will have an * before the title. All books I’ve reviewed will be clickable links to my reviews.
