new coming this weekHello everyone and Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating, even if that was just snuggled on the couch in pajamas! We had a small masked and well ventilated gathering of vaccinated and boostered friends. This is our 20th year celebrating together (21st if you could last year over Zoom) and we were thrilled to have a chance to see each other again, even if it wasn’t quite like normal. Here is to a wonderful 2022 for everyone and I hope you all stay safe and healthy.

This has been a super busy year as always on Joyfully Jay. We ran 1205 posts last year, including reviews, guest posts, and other content. Personally, I read/reviewed 227 books. I want to give a huge thank you once again to my incredible reviewing team, without which none of this would be possible. A huge thank you to Michelle, Kris, Veronica, Sue, Jovan, Elizabeth, and Camille!
