Books I Read in 2022

Resources

One of my goals this last year was to read more books! I’ve always enjoyed reading, but have never made it much of a priority so I set a goal in 2022 to read 10 books. I finished off the year having read 23 books! I had no plan as to what I was going to read, but ended up with quite a variety: fiction, education, homeschooling, parenting, motherhood and a theology book or two thrown in the mix. There were also a few read alouds we enjoyed for our homeschool that we were able to read as a family! I will categorize them below and highlight some of my favorites!

Fiction

The girls and I adored Anne of Green Gables! I couldn’t put down Where the Crawdads Sing once I started it. Stepping Heavenward is an incredible story of a woman’s life in journal form (first published in 1869) as her faith is refined through marriage, motherhood and life circumstances. I would love to get into the rest of the Love Comes Softly series as well!

Education

These really give insight into how education became what it looks like today. They also give an alternative viewpoint on what education can look like and allow you to see it differently. If you’ve ever been one to question the narrative or want to look at something from a different lens, these will definitely be interesting to you.

Homeschooling

These are all targeted to the homeschooling family and are filled with so much wisdom, grace and encouragement for those that are navigating this journey. The Unhurried Homeschooler and Teaching from Rest are short and sweet, but excellent. I will likely read Teaching From Rest over and over. Charlotte Mason Companion is a larger book, but one I will be holding on to as there are ideas for various subjects! All excellent!

Parenting & Motherhood

Of these three, I really enjoyed Mom Set Free the most. Once again, a book that reminded me to take a few deep breaths and give myself some grace in this season of life.

Christian / Theology

All excellent! When God’s Ways Make No Sense is written as Larry Crabb was diagnosed with cancer. This book unpacks how we are to respond when life’s circumstances don’t make sense in our human minds. I will definitely read Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World again at some point.

Autobiography

A must read and a read again!

I didn’t set a goal for 2023, but I am hoping to keep up with reading. I love learning and also getting lost in a good story. If you have any recommendations or favorite books definitely send them my way! I hope this gives you some ideas to add to your list!
