Hmm. Apparently it’s been ten years since I last read this? I was originally inspired to pick it up after seeing Harry Potter play Arthur Kipps in the movie. Oh Daniel Radcliffe. He’ll be Harry Potter forever. I only handle PG-13 scary movies or I would have never seen this. But, it lead me to finding out it was based on this book. I do love a good haunted, isolated crumbling mansion, moody, atmospheric story.

And so it begins.

An adorably illustrated story about death, grief, friendship, and where we go in the afterlife. The story is as wonderful as the illustrations. Prepare yourself for All the Feels.

That’s a wrap. Several rereads, a little bit of mind-body-spirit, a few travel books, recommendations, and I even found a new to me favorite author, Mary Oliver. 2022 in books was a well balanced satisfying year for my mind.
Maybe 2023 will be the year I finally start reading off my own bookshelves. Or let’s be honest, I’ll probably just continue filling them up while reading books from the library.

My intention for 2020 is to read a variety of different genres and authors. I get stuck with my go to favorites which I’ll still do but I want to experience new literary things as well. I might do a reading challenge this year which is always a great way to broaden my To Be Read pile.
