10 Books to Read in 2022

10 Books to Read in 2022

HOW MY LOVE FOR READING BEGAN

Reading books was a major part of my upbringing. My father was a linguist and devoted a lot of time to ensure that we had books to read on a regular basis.

There was a library in our home with shelves of books from the floor to ceiling, which were on all 4 walls. I remember sitting on the floor of our library on summer days getting lost in books.

I also have fond memories of my dad handing us catalogue mailers several times a year and allowing us to order a number of books. We would eagerly await their arrival in the mail. However, after a while, life got busy and my love of reading was very low on the totem pole.

REKINDLING MY LOVE FOR BOOKS

Several years ago, I got a Kindle to keep me company on my train ride to work. While scrolling through its books, I rediscovered one of my early childhood favourites. I find that reading is a favourite pastime that is calming and relaxing. In 2022, I would like to take the time to read more.

READING IS ESSENTIAL

After settling back in the United States, and coming into my own as a black woman, I have discovered the importance of these books. They help me navigate and understand topics that are foreign to me or that I sometimes take for granted.

Still going through messages. Your kind words and encouragement have carried me through. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
MY DAD: My heart is filled with immeasurable grief MY DAD: My heart is filled with immeasurable grief but also profound gratitude for this man. He was kind, gentle but tough, always looking for the good and slow to anger. A man of integrity with faith like a mustard seed. I got to spend a lot of time with him over the last year and I am forever grateful. While it is hard to comprehend this loss. I know that he is looking down and guiding me. I love you dad ❤️ 2 Timothy 4: 7-8
