In 2022 I made roughly $25,000 from my blog. Blogging has been a long time hobby of mine. I have been blogging since around 2008 and each of my blogs have always served as sort of a diary of my experiences, lessons learned and things picked up along the way.

Here’s a round-up of the 26 books I read in 2022 and if one of your goals for 2023 is to read more books, join my book club.
