Happy New Year Everyone!

This year ended on a semi good note reading wise for me. Last year I was able to surpass my reading goal of 50 books in 2020, I attributed that to the pandemic so I didn’t want to set too high a goal this year. For 2021, I set a reading goal of 55 books, only 5 more than 2020’s. I found myself reaching for books I never originally thought I would read, & it ended up feeling great mixing it up!

In 2021, I read a total of 50 books! That’s just 5 less than than my goal.
