2021 reading challenge

So, in 2020 I read much more than I have in so long. In 2021, I think it is time to get through the pile of books that I have accumulated over the last few years. I’ve set a book buying ban (let’s see how long that lasts), and so apart from anything I have pre-ordered or anything I get sent to me as a gift or to review, I will attempt to not purchase anything.

I plan to read two books per month (or 24 books across the year) and therefore, I will update this page with the books i’ve read.
