| GIVEAWAY HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! |
I've added a list of books not yet mentioned that I found in my online sleuthing...just scroll past all my rambling and you'll see a list of some pretty awesome sauce books that are worth adding to your TBR lists.
QUARTERLY GOALS REVIEW
GIVEAWAY!
It's super easy -- you just need to share at least one reading goal you have made for 2022. Can be as simple as the # of books you'd like to read or an author you'd like to try or a genre you want to focus on. Anything goes, they're your goals, after all. And, if you're comfortable sharing, let us know how you are progressing. Then, in the same comment, list a book that will help you reach your goal. So it looks like this:
"I want to catch up on some suspense series. Night Prey by Susan Sleeman."
****NOTE: BOOKS MUST BE CHRISTIAN FICTION****
You can enter up to three times in three separate comments -- and you can use the same goal or different ones each time.
Books can be published any time up through SEPTEMBER 2022. Currently published books will be ordered the first week in April for the winners, otherwise it will be an IOU for a July, Aug or Sept 2022 title.
See? Easy Peasy. But if you're still not clear, don't be shy about asking questions.
*IMPORTANT NOTE: TODAY'S GIVEAWAY IS OPEN TO EMAIL ENTRIES. JUST TYPE 'READING GOALS' IN THE SUBJECT LINE AND THEN LIST YOUR ENTRY SELECTIONS IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL.*
KAV'S 2022
READING GOALS
QUARTERLY REVIEW:
226 books read (that seems like a lot, but keep in mind, I live alone and have a chronic pain condition that limits what I can do. Plus I have a tedious amount of stretches and exercises to do daily, plus walks and listening to books is my dangling carrot! :-) And yes, audible books have really increased the number of books I am able to read.
15 books DNF (Did Not Finish) mostly because of content issues, only 4 Christian Fiction books
#1 READ MORE INDIE AUTHORS
25 books -- I read 20 in the last three months -- yay me -- 'cause I'd only read 5 in the first quarter so I really wanted to up the numbers by mid year and I did.
#2 CATCH UP ON SERIES I'M BEHIND IN
9 series completely caught up
many more series in progress!!! (oy, I keep starting new ones)
#3 READ MORE DEBUT AUTHORS
8 authors -- not bad -- debut authors are hard to find!
#4 READ MORE NEW-TO-ME AUTHORS
20 authors -- more than doubled from last quarterly review!
#5 DIVERSIFY MY READING
67 books! -- nearly doubled the number from last quarter -- Yay me!!
This is largely thanks to my penchant for Regency Romances though, 'cause I had a lot of UK settings. By the end of the year the US might be considered a diverse setting for me. Bwahahaha! Here's the breakdown:
Diverse settings:
25 books set in the UK
6 books set in Canada
4 books set in Ireland
3 books set in France
2 book set in Australia
1 book set in Africa
1 book set in Russia
Diverse author nationality:
5 Canadian
5 British
2 Australian
9 Ethnically diverse authors
14 books with ethnically diverse characters
15 books with disabled or chronically ill characters
#6 STAY CURRENT WITH SERIES
32 series current to date!!!
#7 START NEW-TO-ME SERIES
29 new series started! (ack, I'm already worried about keeping up!)
#8 PLAY AUTHOR CATCH-UP
Sigh, making some headway but haven't completely caught up with any of my targeted authors yet!
#9 READ OUTSIDE MY COMFORT ZONE (OCCASIONALLY!)
8 books -- I'm discovering that I like to stay inside my comfort zone!!!!
#10 GIVE UNLOVED TROPES A SECOND CHANCE
2 books read!!!!! What can I say, I'm a reader of habit! Clearly I know what I like and gravitate towards that. I'm not going to worry about it though. Life is too short and there are too many books waiting to be read to force myself to read something that doesn't appeal to me. Might scrap this goal, but I'll leave it up until the fall and see if I make any headway with it.
Tada! That's it (so far!) So, now it's your turn:
HOW ARE YOUR READING GOALS COMING ALONG? Share below or in an email (remember to include book titles that will help you achieve your goal) and you have a chance to win one of those titles.

My reading goals are small, but I still didn't hit the number of books I like to read this quarter due to 2 weeks of vacation and 1 week of visitors. I am hoping to get back on track in July with all the summer heat keeping me inside. I did read 2 new authors as part of my goal, Mollie Rushmeyer and Kate Angelo. (I left you a note under my suspense entry on Kate's book) I have kept current on my series as each new book released.
ReplyDeleteI have seen
The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold but wasn't sure what to think about it. But with your recommendation I'm going to try this one. It sounds good and it fits nicely in my "read a new author" goal.
2) Out of the Night my Susan Warren will keep my current on her series and boy is she hard to keep up with!
ReplyDeleteThere are no small reading goals! I have never heard of Mollie Rushmeyer and when I looked her up the only book I saw was for a LI Trade to be published in October. Is that the one you read? A sneak, sneak, sneak preview peek?! It looks really good. And Kate Angelo was one of my new authors too!
DeleteThe Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip was...extraordingary! I didn't know what to make of it and likely would have passed it over if I hadn't been given a copy to review. And I sure whould ahve misse dout! Just...extraordinary! lol
You are brave for trying to keep up with Susan May Warren! Good luck, Tracey!
Mollie is a friend on FB and I saw where she finally achieved her goal on being an author!! I was SO happy for her when she shared this information.
DeleteSo see if you put her book on your list for October, you'd get another goal under your belt reading a brand new "debut author" :-)
Yes Kav, it was a miracle really because Harlequin doesn't approve reviewers who don't have a blog. But I tried for it and was able to get approved, shocking!
DeleteThe Bookshop of Secrets was a very good debut. My review is up on Goodreads if you want to check it out. :)
Goal: Read New Authors
ReplyDelete(I've probably read less than 7, but I have several in my tbr pile.) :D
Dangerous Beauty by Melissa Koslin
eclitton at gmail dot com
Hard to read new ones while keeping up with the 'old' ones. lol Good luck, Elizabeth!

ReplyDelete“The Alaska Saga” by Tracie Peterson
Release Date – July 1, 2022

3. Read more edge of your seat suspense to get the blood flowing with excitement. Might as well make it a new to me author. Can you tell I’m anxious to widen by author list? :)
ReplyDelete“Fallout” by Carrie Stuart Parks
Release Date – September 13, 2022
2clowns at arkansas dot net
Ohhh, great goals, Kay. I'm going to borrow that first one for next year! Good luck!
Delete3) Where Dreams Meet by Jennifer Moore,
ReplyDeleteRenae Mackley, Caroly Frank and Carla Kelley. All new to me authors so that takes care of that goal!
Heidi mentioned this one and I looked it up, It's historical 1781 through 1906. The stories look good so I'm going to try this one. It's actually out today, the 1st of July, that doesn't happen often on RC week were the book comes out before the week is finished .
Thank you, Kav for one of the most fun weeks of the year!
We all love Best Reads and your giving heart!
You're the best blogger and reviewer extraordinaire!
tracey14567 at gmail dot com
I was excited to see that one too. Those collections are always well done and it's fun to find one with a multitude of new to me authors. I hope it might be released in audible too. Time will tell. Good luck, Tracey! And thanks for sharing in the fun this week!
DeleteI hope it gets to audible for you too!

Have read new-to-me authors Nancy Naigle and Heidi Kimball. I'm sure there's more but I don't write then down. Would enjoy reading new to me author Deborah M. Hathaway!
ReplyDelete2) From the Fields of Porthlenn by Deborah M. Hathaway (Aug 31)
Keep up with series! This is book 3.
ReplyDelete3) Harvest Moon by Denise Hunter (Sept 6)
Thanks for the deliciously fun book talk week, Kav! I know this is a lot of work for you & we all appreciate you very much. Your goal list is quite daunting & made my head spin a bit more than usual! lol But good job!! You're the BoMb!
DeleteI'm for sure going to read some of Nancy Naigle's Christmas books -- my library has a number of them. And I'm really intrigued by that Deborah M. hathaway novel as well...great reading minds think alike. :-)
DeleteThanks for your kind words, Diana -- I really enjoy these weeks as well. Nothing so satisfying as plumping up a wishlist...unless it's plumping up a bookshelf! lol
Truer words have never been spoken! Why does "truer" look odd? I don't think I've ever typed that word before. 🤔 Anyway it's true what you said about plumping up the wishlist & the bookshelf. lol Many of these readers' goals & authors they've mentioned I've never read. Or heard of! And here I thought I was a connoisseur of Christian fiction. Ha! My autocorrect said hufflepuff instead of ha! So that, too. hahaha
Delete2022 Reading Goals Wishlist ~ 1st goal: Continue with series I have begun reading ~ third book of new author (I have completed three from the library.). 2nd goal: Go back in time and reread some favorites! (I am catching up on Julie Klassen’s novels.

Still after dual timelines!

Love your goals, Kathleen. I've actually been thinking about doing some fictional re-visiting myself this summer. In fact one of next week's books is a re-read. Hmmm...now you've given me the idea of making that theme. Retro ReRead Sundays! Good luck!

paulamarys49ATgmailDOTcom
Good luck, Paula!
DeleteI read The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip and it was phenomenal! I agree, great debut!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it unexpected?! And squee...another debut I can add to my list.
DeleteMy main reading goals for the year are 120 books (currently at 66), 24,000 pages (currently just over 12,000 pages read), and reread through all of the Stephen Bly books I own (read 7, have 9 still to read).
ReplyDeleteI would like to get caught up reading James R. Hannibal's books, currently behind two books.
1. Elysium Tide by James R. Hannibal
Thanks for the giveaway! Always fun to scroll through the comments during reader's choice week.
ladysnowangelphotos(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm probably going to behind on Michelle Griep too as I don't think the library will be getting The Bride of Blackfriars Lane so that would be choice number 2.
ReplyDelete3. Wishtress by Nadine Brandes - I have only read one of her books and I would really like to read more.
ReplyDeleteYou're right on schedule, LSA! My library is funny about getting in Michelle Griep's books -- sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.. Wishtress sounds really interesting -- a little bit out of my comfort zone but I'm intrigued enough to give it a go. Good luck!
DeleteGoal #1 Is to read 5 new to me authors. So far I've read, and loved, Kathleen Fuller, Crystal Caudill, and Rachel Fordham. Continuing with this goal, I'm choosing Roots of Wood and Stone by Amanda Wen. I've read the sample pages and like it already!
ReplyDeleteladepooh at hotmail dot com
Goal #2 is to keep up with a current series. I used to wait until all books were released before reading them. But I've become impatient as I've gotten older.lol So looking forward to Harvest Moon by Denise Hunter. And then I'll be so sad because the series is over. Boo!
ReplyDeleteladepooh at hotmail dot com
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOoooohhh, I predict you will love Amanda Wen too. And I have never been able to wait for a whole series to come out before reading it. Patient and reading don't pair well together in my bibliophile brain. lol Good luck, Lea!
DeleteI stumbled into my junk email folder tonight and discovered that I've won the book I entered as my 3rd choice here. Hooray for Facebook giveaways!lol
DeleteSo I'm choosing a different book here. Going for another new author, and one of your suggestions. The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold. I'm intrigued by the blurb so I. Adding it to my TBR pile!
Hooray for a win, but bah for junk email folder. My email was sending everything to the junk folder at one point. So annoying. Change noted. Good luck, Lea!
DeleteGoal #10 Give Unloved Tropes a Second Chance
ReplyDeleteI have not been a big fan of regency. I prefer clean and sweet and would love to find christian regency authors that can do this for me. I too am a reader of habit. But I can do this quilting dash lady at comcast dot net
You didn't leave a title -- if you need some suggestions of awesome Christian Fiction Regency writes....Kristi Ann Hunter, Carolyn Miller, Erica Vetsch...ack, I know there's more but those are the ones that spring mind.
Delete#6 Stay Currant with Series
ReplyDeleteKathryn Mykel
Quilting Cozy Mysteries
I have read #1 Sewing Suspicion
I have read #2 Quilting Calamity
Release #3 Aug. 14, 2022 Pressing Matters
Release #4 March 7, 2023 Threading Trouble
First, thank you for putting me onto what looks to be a delightful new-to-me cozy mystery series. They are on audible...eeeeppp! And a good price too so, I bought the first one. lol! BUT this isn't a Christian Fiction series and this week and the whole blog (mostly) is all about Christian Fiction. So, feel free to select another title.
Delete- Read backlist books of my favorite authors

ReplyDeleteI love her writing too...she always delivers magic. Good luck, jackie!
Delete- Judge a book by its cover (Beautiful cover)
ReplyDeleteHeart in the Highlands by Heidi Kimball
Thanks Kav!
Okay -- that is a brilliant goal. I am stealing it for next year for sure! Good luck, Heidi!
DeleteMy main goal for this year is/was to read more books I already have on my bookshelves. I have FAR too many that have languished there for far too long. Sadly, I've not made as much progress as I really wanted to. A few have flown off my shelf, but the rest are staring holes in me....lol! So I'm really going to try to buckle down and finally read as many of those books for the last part of the year. My problem is, I see all these shiny new books coming out and I have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, which leads me to read more indie authors. I know that's a good thing because I have discovered new-to-me writers, but a bad thing when it comes to my goal. SIGH! I need more discipline in this area 😂
ReplyDeleteThat being said, another goal is to finish a series I've already read. For example, I have read the first book or two but haven't gotten around to the third (or second depending on the series). My first choice is the third book in the Hangers Horseman series:
1. In Honors Defense by Karen Witemeyer
I couldn't live with all those disgruntled books staring holes in me lol -- I have one modest TBR pile and one a tad unwieldy audible 'pile' courtesy of audible plus so I can see how Kindle Unlimited can set your good intentions awry! I have been eyeing the third book in Karen Witemeyer's series on audible and I think you might have pushed me over the edge...but then I coudl say I finished another series, right? Good luck, Trixi!
DeleteThe Lady’s Mine by Francine Rivers
ReplyDeleteEvery Knee Shall Bow by Bryan M. Litfin
ReplyDelete(My goal is to read more books than previous years!🤪😉)
The Raveling by Tamara Leigh
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Elly!
DeleteI would like to reconnect with an author I completely enjoy but have not read in way too long.
ReplyDeleteJuly 5
Inventions of the Heart
Book 2
Cattle Barons Daughters
I love Mary Connealy and the first book in this series was great. I still have to catch up two of the books from the series before that one though. Gah. so many books so little time. Good luck, Lori!
DeleteMy Goodreads goal is to read 200 books (for the year), I have read 113 so far. A book to help me reach that goal is: To Kiss a Wallflower by Jen Johnson (novella collection). cilydav at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI am doing the 2022 Alphabet soup reading challenge, author edition, where you read a book by an author whose first, middle, or last name begins with each letter of the alphabet. I still need O, U, V, X, and Z...Love's Fortress by Jennifer Uhlarik. cilydav at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteYay you -- you're ahead of schedule. I love those novella collections -- they are so well done and a great introduction to new-to-me authors. I number of them are on audible to which makes me even more happy. And that Alphabet soup challenge sounds fun but, oy, Z? All I can think of is Laura Frantz...but the z is at the end of her number. I wonder if they'd ake allowances for that one? And X is going to be tough. Good luck, Cindy!
DeleteMy old-fashioned kitchen calendar shows the holidays for both Canada and the US, so I had noted Canada Day first thing! Googled to learn more! Best wishes for a pleasant holiday!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your reading synopsis and those of others. I have read 46 books during this past quarter, not including a handful I did not finish for various reasons. I am reading more Regency and more Cozy Mysteries, both of which I am enjoying. Also, I am trying to read at least "more" of the books in series.
To Write a Wrong by Jen Turano (missed the middle book).
Long Way Home by Lynn Austin (haven't read one of her books in quite some time).
ReplyDeleteIn Honor's Defense by Karen Witemeyer - to finish that good series. Thanks for the fellowship and fun!
ReplyDeleteYes -- Canada gets a three day weekend from Friday to Sunday and you guys get one from Saturday to Monday. They were predicting thunderstorms here but that doesn't look like it will pan out so fireworks will be a go this evening. And I just purchased In Honor's Defense from audible thanks to your and Trixi's comments. It doesn't take much to influence me into buying more books. :-) Good luck, CC!
DeleteGood luck, Kate. Catching up with authors and series could be a life-long goal for me, I think.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Kate!
ReplyDeleteSorry....had to come back to this after running errands today. Second choice to play catch-up is:
ReplyDelete2. To Tame A Cowboy by Jody Hedlund (Colorado Cowboys #3)
And because I love Denise so much...I'll choose this one to start her new series...even though the third one in the Riverbend Gap series is coming out in September (Harvest Moon)!
ReplyDelete3. Riverbend Gap by Denise Hunter
teamob4 (at) gmail (dot) com
Denise Hunter has been very popular this week. :-) Good luck, Trixi!
DeleteP.S. Just to add to the thread: On my immediate to-read list is "The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip". If you think it's amazing Kav, then I KNOW for sure I'll love it :-) Can't wait!
ReplyDelete"Love at Second Chance" was GREAT!! Liwen Ho is so good at writing Rom-com even though she admits it's hard for her to write them. I LOVED Cassie...she's so much like me HAHA!
Carolyn Miller has SO many books out now....I really need to get cracking reading them! I must have 3-4 on my shelf.....see my problem? Too many books and too much ignoring the ones I already own LOL!!
Happy Canada day Kav!!!
You know when they call a movie a 'sleeper' and then it turns out to a be a runaway hit? That's the way I think about The Extraoridinary deaths of Mrs. Kip...I mean I'd never heard of it before and then suddenly I'm ravenoulsy gobbling it up!
DeleteSo great to hear that you enjoyed Liwen Ho's soon to be release. I want to read more of her books. Still have to finish the Sparks brothers. Might make that a July reading goal.
And keeping up with Carolyn Miller now that she's gone rogue and is indie publishing too....not a chance! lol Thanks for all your fun input this week, Trixi!

DeleteOne goal is to read new-to-me authors so I'll say The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip by Sara Brunsvold since you recommended it so highly, Kav. Also just heard an author I admire sing its praises too. I'm intrigued!
ReplyDeleteckbarker at gmail dot com
Another goal is to catch up on books I haven't read yet by Laura Frantz. Love her books so much. Almost finished with one right now and then will just have a couple left. The first I'll mention is The Colonel's Lady.
ReplyDeleteckbarker at gmail dot com
For my third choice I'll list the other one by Laura Frantz I still need to read to catch up with all of her books - The Mistress of Tall Acre.

I have been on such a suspense/mystery fixation lately, it's hard to make myself read other genres, so look for more suspense in my summer giveaways. I just can't help myself! Good luck, Caryl!
