My goal was 25 books. I’ve actually read 26 (and started on a 27th). I must have miscounted at some point because I didn’t actually have to finish The Snakes by Sadie Jones to wrap up the challenge. Below is a full list of all the books I read this year.

• Last Breath (Rachel Caine)
• The Sandman (Lars Kepler)
• Dark Across the Bay (Ania Ahlborn)
• The Invitation (Lucy Foley)
• Black Dawn (Rachel Caine)
• The Thicket (Noelle W. Ihli)
• Afraid (Lisa Jackson, Alexandra Ivy, and Lisa Childs)
• House (Frank E. Peretti and Ted Dekker)
• My Pretties (Jeff Strand)
• The Woods Are Always Watching (Stephanie Perkins)
• Pan’s Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun (Guillermo del Toro)
• His Final Girl (Brooklyn Ann)
• Theme Music (T. Marie Vandelly)
• Bitter Blood (Rachel Caine)
• Long Live The Pumpkin Queen (Shea Ernshaw)
• Fall of Night (Rachel Caine)
• The Hypnotist (Lars Kepler)
• The Fear (Natasha Preston)
• Survive the Night (Danielle Vega)
• Small Spaces (Katherine Arden)
• Court of the Vampire Queen (Katee Robert)
• The Maze Runner (James Dashner)
• Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke (Eric LaRocca)
• Daylighters (Rachel Caine)
• Dead Voices (Katherine Arden)
• Red Rain (RL Stine)

It’s been a good year, and I have found a few new authors I definitely want more from. I’m going to close out 2022 re-reading the Harry Potter series, then hit the ground running in 2023 with a new challenge. Cheers!
