A Year in Review: 2022 Selections

 Here's a look back at our 2022 selections! We averaged a book every 2.4 months this past year, which I am pretty sure improved on our overall average before that. Ideally, we should be doing 6 a year, if we are giving 2 months to every selection, which seems fair.






So, we're going to aim for 6 in 2023! Who knows, we may eventually pick up our snail pace with practice. I was happy with this year's selections and discussions. Where else can you get to eat a sandworm?

Had we met for this past read, we could have had some flaming pudding. Bummer we didn't make that happen. Maybe next year. I re-read one selection this year, gaining a whole new perspective this time around, and was able to read others I really should have read by now but haven't. Isn't that what Book Club is all about? We're starting off 2023 with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and while I started reading this one years ago aloud with Joey, I never finished it, like so many other things in my life, so it will be yet another loose end book I'll be finishing up. Satisfaction guaranteed! May that be a theme for this New Year. Thank you, friends, who read along with me. I appreciate the company; Book Club is the spice of life. See what I did, there?
