Last year, I managed to read 104 books so wanted to up my target to 120 for 2021. 10 a month seemed doable. Right now, I’m a little behind but I know I tend to read more during the spring and summer so I’m not too worried. Since today is World Book Day, my favourite day at school as a kid, I thought I’d share all the books I’ve read in 2021 part 1.
You’ll probably find a similar theme amongst the books I’ve read: decluttering and minimalism. It’s a topic I’ve really got into in recent years so I’ve become obsessed! I want to start adding more fiction into my reading list so maybe I’ll alternate between fiction and non-fiction.
I’ve been reading every night before bed and sometimes on my lunch breaks. However, I need to stop working at weekends to give myself more reading time then. Because I’ve read so many books, I didn’t want to bombard you with mini reviews although I might do that with some of my faves later in the year. Instead, I’ve broken them into five, four and three star reads.
