\"\"<\/a>As we wrap up 2022, my second full year of remote working, I managed to surpass my previous records by completing a whopping 55 books, an increase of one book over last year and my second consecutive year completing the 52 books in 52 weeks challenge<\/a>.\u00a0 I surpassed last year\u2019s total with a mere three days remaining in 2022.\u00a0 I read (or listened) to 19,328 pages, by far my highest total of all time and only the third time I\u2019ve passed 10,000.<\/p>\n

Of those books, fifteen were non-fiction and, of the remaining 40 novels, only two were tied to a TV show, either as the source material or as a tie-in.\u00a0 None of the books came out of my dwindling \u201cto-read\u201d drawer, with 44 e-books and three audiobooks.\u00a0 I continued to take advantage of my library card, which helped me procure 37 of the books I consumed throughout the year.<\/p>\n

A little more than half of the books I read this year were by authors I had read before. The 31 authors that I read for the first this year were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Adam Nedeff<\/td>\nKelsey McKinney<\/td>\nSimone St. James<\/td>\nLaura Dave<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jeff Warren<\/td>\nCarlye Adler<\/td>\nMatt Paxton<\/td>\nJordan Michael Smith<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Alyssa Milano<\/td>\nAlex Finlay<\/td>\nTaylor Jenkins Reid<\/td>\nEmily Ratajkowski<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Samantha Downing<\/td>\nDave Grohl<\/td>\nMary Lynn Rajskub<\/td>\nStephanie Perkins<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Michael Schur<\/td>\nJoseph Henrich<\/td>\nV.E. Schwab<\/td>\nBrianna Madia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jimmy Piersall<\/td>\nRichard Whittingham<\/td>\nRichard Osman<\/td>\nColleen Hoover<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Jenette McCurdy<\/td>\nSally Rooney<\/td>\nJosh Malerman<\/td>\nAlice Sebold<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Katie Mack<\/td>\nPenn Jillette<\/td>\nElin Hilderbrand<\/td>\nNita Prose<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Alex Finlay, Simone St. James, Karin Slaughter, Megan Goldin, Jeffery Deaver, and Richard Osman were the only authors that I read multiple titles from during 2022.<\/p>\n

16 of the books I read were released this year, while only two of them were released last century, with the oldest first published in 1953.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Finally, the breakdown by month, which was fairly consistent across the entire year.<\/span><\/p>\n
