Literature: February 2022 Books

 Wow, how did we get to 2022 already? The past two years seem to have gone fast despite being in lockdown most of the time.

In 2021 I managed to read 158 books, but this year I am scaling down a bit and aim to read 120 -12 each month!  In January I read eight and this month I managed to read 11 – one book short of the monthly target!

So what are those 11 books?

  • If you Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson
  • Small Things like These by Claire Keegan
  • Chocolate Cake for Breakfast by Rosie Green
  • The Roadrunner Café by Jamie Zerndt
  • Tinkers by Paul Harding

  • Isaiah for You by Tim Chester
  • Nahum, Habakkuk and Zephaniah by S.D Synman

Crime

  • Welcome to Copper by Tariq Ashkani

Recommended Books

I really enjoyed Jacqueline Woodson’s book If You Come Softly which is about two young people (Miah and Ellie). Mia is black and Ellie is white, and they fall in love with each other and start to try and navigate their way in a world where racist comments are made and people do not approve of their relationship. It is a sweet book and an interesting read with some chapters written from Miah’s point of view and others from Ellie’s.
