What I Read In 2021
“Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.”
I know, I’m a little late to the game. It’s February already but I am almost positive that January didn’t happen this year so quite frankly, I think I am right on time. Anyways, my goal for last year was simply to read more than the previous year and that is exactly what I did. I tried to add more diversity to my reading in terms of genre and authors. I wanted to sprinkle in more non fiction reads and add some poetry books to the count too. I am well underway with my 2022 reading, tackling my TBR (To Be Read) list one book at a time.
Stay tuned for my book recommendations from the list I read in 2021!
