The Books I Read in 2021
Congratulations to me for reaching my goal of reading 40 books in 2021! If you scan this list, you'll see a wide range of genres. What's not on here are the half a dozen or so books that I've started but not yet finished. Hopefully, I'll be able to add them to my 2022 list—the goal of which I've set at 36.
