We’re at the end of year, and it’s time to check my results for the 2022 Library Love Challenge!! I hope you’ve been enjoying your library.
Don’t forget your library might offer up online features like Libby, Overdrive, and Hoopla to help you reach your Library Goal for the year.
Levels:
- Dewey Decimal: Read 12 books
- Thrifty Reader: Read 24 books
- Overdrive Junkie: Read 36 books
- Library Addict: Read 48 books
- Library Card on Fire: Read 60+ books
Anne’s Progress:
Now I am a host for the challenge so I don’t participate in the giveaways but I’m still tracking my reads and savings. I have a total of 85 for the year, so I met my goal of 60 for Library Card on Fire.
I use my library extensively for all formats. I take the opportunity to read or listen to earlier books in a series when I am catching up, to try out new series, or for non-fiction research.
All Library books read:

I can't really remember any time when I wasn't reading. I LOVE books and what they give me. It's an opportunity to learn new things, see new places,live different emotions in a "safe" way. It lets me live in a new world.
I read all types of books but my favorites are urban fantasy and romantic suspense.I like some romance and some action / adventure / mystery in everything.I like sex in my books but please, only between TWO people.Intimate conversation is equally important to the sex in a book.It lets me see the characters.The other thing I enjoy is humor.

Congratulations to your success here. I envy you in a positive way for the list of books you read or were listening to. Very impressive. And I saw that I will have to check some of your reviews, because some titles on your list are totally new to me or sound familiar. Thank you for sharing your results, although you can´t participate in the giveaways *smile*
Thanks Vi. I am never sure if I will make it. I mean it sounds ridiculous that I would be able to read even 1 book a week from the library but somehow I manage it.
Way to go hitting your goal and getting to so many. This was my highest year, too, and I hope to keep it going in 2023.
Thanks Sophia. I can’t imagine not using the library.
WOW that’s great on your savings and awesome on meeting your goal. I didn’t do well for this year, but I have plans for 2023 that I hope to hit.
Thanks Angela. I love my library.
Great job! I should try to use my library more I guess to save money! I do use it for a lot of audiobooks. Used to exclusively use it, now I got sucked into Audible. And I rarely have time to relisten to audiobooks, so it’s crazy to keep buying them, but oh well!
Thanks Lisa. I love my library so much.
Congratulations Anne! Wow, you really did great!
Thank you Wendy.
Wow Anne! That is great!!! I hardly ever use my library anymore, but I do grab an audiobook or ebook now and then, especially for my daughter.
I love my library. I seriously use it pretty much every day.
Congratulations! I just love my library. I think I get most of my books from there.
Thank you! It’s about one third for me I would say.
