Kellee’s #MustReadin2021 Recap & #MustReadin2022 Intro

Share

I love the Must Read challenge! I took part in 2015-2019 & 2021, so I am happy to join again! It helps me remember to read certain books!

Thank you to Carrie at There’s A Book for That for starting this challenge and to Leigh Ann of A Day in the Life and Cheriee of Library Matters for co-hosting the revival.

For those of you new to the challenge, it has you take a look at the books you wanted to read, but for whatever reason, you have not gotten to them. You then make your own personal list of books you want to commit to (trying to) read.

There is no set number of books and books can be published from any year, in any genre or format, and in any category. These books will not be the only ones you read this year but will be the ones included in your personal challenge.

  1. It’s so impressive that you read all but 2 books on your #MustReadIn2021 list, Kellee—especially since it’s a sizable list to begin with! And your #MustReadIn2022 list is awesome too, especially with the student picks! The Magic Fish is literally my favorite graphic novel of all time (and I’ve read quite a few graphic novels, so that’s a feat)—I hope you enjoy it! I’m also hoping to read Huda F Are You? soon, since I got a copy for Christmas, and I’m a huge fan of The Mysterious Benedict Society, so that is definitely worth a read. Thanks so much for the wonderful post!

  2. Great list last year & now this year. We are lucky to have so many wonderful books available and for children, too. I love seeing what your students chose, Kellee. Don’t miss “We Were Liars”!

  3. What a great list of must read books. When I read It Ends With Us I couldn’t put it down – I finished it in a day. Although I liked it, for some reason I have never read any other Colleen Hoover books. She has become so popular.
