deep220 2022 List.

Hello Everyone,

A little about me: Jenn from Michigan. A 40-year-old dog mom to a crazy Alaskan Malamute. Spend most of my time either reading, needleworking, or knitting and in the summer mountain biking and kayaking. Hoping to continue another year of reading over 100 books, as I am a collector that will never finish my TBR shelves.

I hope to not only read at least 100 books but read at least 25 books from my TBR shelves and 12 books that I have read before. If I continue to keep books, I have read one needs to enjoy them again.

Favorite read of January:
The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang. 5 of 5 stars

Highly recommend. Mild spice and all the feels. Another great book from Helen Hoang.

Description:
When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. Translation: She’s going to embark on a string of one-night stands. The more unacceptable the men, the better.

That’s where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex—he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just started to understand. However, when tragedy strikes Anna’s family, she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves.

Buried Beneath the Baobab Tree by Adoabi Tricia Nwaubani 5 of 5 stars

Book Description:
On April 14, 2014, Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls. Some managed to escape. Many are still missing. A new pair of shoes, a university degree, a husband—these are the things that a girl dreams of in a Nigerian village. A girl who works hard in school and to help her family. A girl with a future as bright as live coals in the dark. And with a government scholarship right around the corner, everyone—her mother, her five brothers, her best friend, her teachers—can see that these dreams aren’t too far out of reach. Even if the voices on Papa’s radio tell more fearful news than tales to tell by moonlight.

But the girl’s dreams turn to nightmares when her village is attacked by Boko Haram, a terrorist group, in the middle of the night. Kidnapped, she is taken with other girls and women into the forest where she is forced to follow her captors’ radical beliefs and watch as her best friend slowly accepts everything she’s been told. Still, the girl defends her existence. As impossible as escape may seem, her life—her future—is hers to fight for.
