Traveling Around the World in 2022I started a new challenge. It’s an Around the World travel experience. I’m going to pick a country for each letter of the alphabet, starting with Australia for A.
I plan to learn about the country by multi media forms... travel blogs, guidebooks, documentaries, YouTube etc. My goal is to learn without it feeling like a college course. My interest in a country can include culture, cuisine, religion, music, geography, size compared to the US and my favorite, animals.
I will try to read a book relating to the country, depending on what’s available from the library. This will probably reduce the number of books I read in 2022 due to reading other formats.
195 countries plus Caribbean Islands:
Antarctica - How the Penguins Saved Veronica - March 2022
5 - Angola - Beautiful by Danielle Steel - June 2022
9 - Australia- Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty - December 2021

Book 1 of 2022!!The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
A friendship set on the South Korean island of Jeju. The book gives a wonderful detailed description of the female divers called Haenyos. The strength of these women amazed me.
The second half of the book is set during the Korean War and aftermath, which is very difficult to read.
This is the first book I’ve read by Lisa See. I plan to check out her other books.
I’m using this book for ATY #1 - main character’s name is Young-sook and PS #3 - a book set in a nonpatriarcal society.
This book can fit a few other prompts - A book set on a different continent (Asia), historical fiction, a book related to fauna, a book set an a rural area, on or near a body of water.
✔️
Book 2Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good read, cute story.
This was my fourth book by Reid and the best one yet.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was good, Daisy Jones & The Six not so much, and Malibu Rising last year was good.
I’m using this book for ATY #19 & PS #47 - alternate/parallel reality.
✔️
Book 3The Holiday Swap by Maggie Knox - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a cute Hallmark type Christmas book, totally clean romance. I like books with twins so that was a good story line.
This is the first book I’ve read by this writing duo.
ATY #41 - Theme of food, the book was set in a bakery and a cooking show.
Book 4Bring Your Baggage and Don't Pack Light by Helen Ellis - ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
This is a nonfiction book of essays from the humor genre, which none of those three things are my normal reading. But isn’t that a point of the challenge?
I did enjoy the book, even laughed during some. The book is a 2021 Goodreads Choice Nominee. When I’m in the mood for a little humor, I may check out her other books.
ATY # 3 - 22 or more letters. It could also work for a book less than 220 pages.
Book 5Lab Girl by Hope Jahren - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a nonfiction autobiography of a scientist as she studies trees. The scientific sections were written for easy understanding.
ATY#16 for Earth Day, may move to #13 - Woman in STEM.
Book 6The Patron Saint of Lost Dogs by Nick Trout - ⭐️⭐️1/2
Cute story but nothing too exciting. I read a lot of books centered around dogs, so it was worth the read.
This is the first book I've read by Nick Trout. There is a second book to the series but I don't think I will continue.
I'm using this book for PS #32 - A book with a quote from a favorite author on the cover. It could be used for a couple of ATY prompts, cover without a person, or small town.
Book 7Under the Whispering Door by T.J. Klune - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A fantasy book that has some very quirky characters with real life issues you can relate to.
Last year I read The House in the Cerulean Sea and really liked that one too.
ATY #23 - features loving LGB+ relationship, PS #12 - Book about the afterlife
✔️
Book 8Curse of Salem by Kay Hooper - ⭐️⭐️1/2
My apologies to this book. It was me, not you. I just wasn't in the mood.
This book was a nice easy read, just bluh. I have read many of Kay Hooper's books and enjoyed them. I love books that feature paranormal themes. This one just didn't do anything for me .
ATY#33 - next in a series
Book 9Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen - ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
A nice read about a group of people coming together at the lake for the summer. A couple of quirky characters, and a little family drama to help make a good story.
I previously read The Sugar Queen by this author and liked it.
ATY #17 - book from NPR's Book Concierge
✔️
Book 10One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow, this one was great. Evidently I’m a fan of Reid’s older books.

Book 11Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics by Dolly Parton - ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
This was an interesting book. Each song had the lyrics and a little story related to the song. Their were a few songs that I went to YouTube to watch. The song with Sylvester Stallone was absolutely hilarious. The list of artist she has worked with is amazing.
I'm using this book for PS #21 - a book about a band or musical group.
It would also work for ATY #45 - related to a game "Life"
Book 12One by One by Ruth Ware - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A good Ruth Ware book. What could be more fun than a company retreat to a remote ski chalet??
ATY #24 - related to inclement weather.
Book 13The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WOW, I don’t have words to describe this book.
Book 13 review- The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️It was too late last night when I finished this book to write a review. I’m still thinking WOW! The beginning of the book was a slow start for me but once it got started it was hot.
At one point in the book my thought was it’s good, not great but it’s better than Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. Than a woman walked into the book store looking for the Life After Life book!
The second half of this book was great. I am very stingy with five star ratings, it has to have an element of surprise or some other greatness. The ending of this book was fantastic,
This book can be used for quite a few prompts.
ATY #25 - more than 440 pages
PS #35 - Constellation on the cover
Book 14Before the Fall by Noah Hawley - ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
I really like the layout of the chapters, the backstories of each character.
PS #2 - on a plane.
ATY #15 - without a person on the cover
Book 15Jane Eyre - Charlotte Brontë ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Typical classic ... a Victorian melodramatic love story. Not my usual favorite theme but was worth the read.
ABE Author & 1001 book list
ATY #11 - historical fiction
PS #34 - A book set in Victorian time
Book 16The Party Crasher by Sophie Kinsella - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a cute, funny read. It was full of "adult kid" family drama, (which is a real issue), handled with a lot of humor. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked this book, because I was not a fan of the the Shopaholic series.
PS #38 - A book featuring a party.
Book 17If I Could Turn Back Time by Beth Harbison - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a light read. I enjoyed the story of a 37 year-old waking up as her 18 year-old self. I always said I never wanted to be a teenager again. With humor, laughs, nostalgia and a few tears this book shows why.
This is the first book I've read by Beth Harbison. I just grabbed a couple of her books during my library stroll.
ATY #14 - A book with fewer than 5000 ratings.
PS #36 - a book you know nothing about
If anyone is looking for a book for alternate reality without it being Sci-Fi, this would work.
Book 18One Less Problem Without You by Beth Harbison - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed the book, a story of three women at different points in their life.
Trigger warning (view spoiler)
ATY #12 - A book related to glass
PS #23 - A book with a recipe in it
Book 19We Were Liars by E. Lockhart - ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
