2021 wasn't my favourite year but one of the best parts of last year was reading 53 books! Here is a list of them all.
I kept track of all my books in my Goodreads app under a challenge to read 50 books. Somehow it calculated a nice even 54 which was satisfying for my brain (27 fiction and 27 non-fiction), though when I went to type them all out there were 53 not 54 - I suppose 53 is still a good number :) . Basically even amounts of fiction/non-fiction magically transpired without consciously trying, so that was satisfying at the very least!
I'll be sharing my top 5 fiction and top 5 non-fiction, plus books that I found overrated in my next blog post.
