Every year I like to challenge myself to read more books. There are many benefits of reading books, but the main one for me is gaining a wealth of knowledge from people much smarter than myself.
I tend to focus more on the self-improvement side of the library and many of the books I wish to read this year align with that genre. Here are the 12 books I intend to read by the end of 2022:
