Six in Six is Back for 2022!

Another July has come around which means it's time for this fun meme hosted by Jo @ The Book Jotter, now in its tenth year.

The aim of Six in Six is to share what we've read in the first six months of the year by choosing six of the categories given and listing six books under each category. More information and the list of categories can be found here.

This meme is a great way to look back on what you've read so far in the year and to see any emerging trends. Looking at what I've read over the past six months, mostly historical mysteries (my comfort reads) and that I'm 19 books behind schedule in my Goodreads Reading Challenge, supports that 2022 is not shaping up to be my best reading year. Hopefully, I can catch up over the next few months.
