A 2021 Review

The Book Nook
90 books in 2021! I must admit this is NOT a number I intentionally tried to reach nor will it be my goal for the next year. However, with my first semester of grad school including a class on graphic novels, my numbers increased dramatically. I also spent a lot of mornings in denial about going to work, so I listened to audiobooks on the way there. Some may consider that “cheating,” so if that’s the case, I really only read 68 books. Either way, you can find my list below. Pay close attention to my favorites, which you can find by using the key.
