My objective for 2020 was to read as many books that I have had on my TBR (to be read) pile as possible.

Essential I read 18 books off my list. Two of which were series (so essential it works out to be about 23-24). While it wasn’t exactly 40, that I’m happy with my accomplishment.
One thing is for sure, a lot of my Kindle books are ones I bought in 2013, which I should have read at the time. As now no surprisingly are now out of date and irrelevant to me. It serves as a timely reminder that if I buy non-fiction books, I need to read them immediately, not let them gather dust.
Goodreads hasn’t opened up their 2021 reading challenge yet, however, based on the last 9 years of doing these challenges I’ve decided to just aim for 52 books.
I’m excited to read the books I have planned for 2021. It’s time to expand my reading, and get out of my comfort zone and discover new genres and authors.
Now to go get lost in a book.
