I finished reading Mistletoe Magic by Fern Michaels and completed by goal of reading 60 books this year.

I finished reading Mistletoe Magic by Fern Michaels, 3 ★. Here's my review:
A delightful collection of Christmas stories and love at first sight moments. All the stories are connected by characters in the other stories and I enjoyed that. It kept the story rolling and the reader doesn't have to remember a whole new set of characters.

My 2022 goals
1) Read 23,000 pages
2) Read 60 books
3) Read 5 books that have been made into movies/TV shows
4) Read 3 Trilogies
5) Complete 3 series
6) Get up-to-date in 3 series
7) Read as many new releases as I can

Read 60 books (will complete this week)
Read 23,000 pages ✔ (currently at 23,744)
Read 5 books that have been made into movies/TV shows ✔
Read 3 trilogies ✔
Complete 3 series ✔
