It’s that time again, time for my reading goals for the new year!
As for my list of twenty-one books for 2021, I did pretty darn good. My biggest problem was I saved the two longest books on my list for the very end. Sorry The Twelve and The Crimson Petal and the White, I will finish you eventually!
After going through my shelves and boxes of unread books, as well as all my kindle titles, I was able to pick out my twenty-two must-reads for the coming year.
