What I Read: Q1 2022

How many?

I read a total of 27 books from 1/1/22 to 3/31/22, putting me ahead of schedule to reach my goal of 65 books for 2022.

This rate is fast, even for me, and can be explained by the fact a significant number of these were mystery/thriller/suspense novels. That genre tends to be faster paced with lower word counts.
