100 books in 2021
Currently finishing up the last of the 100 books I committed to reading in 2021. Feels wild to write that.
To be fair, 2021 marked the onset of my obsession with audiobooks, so if you don’t count audiobooks as books you’ve “read” we are different breeds of readers.
I’ve included a list of both my 10 favorite fiction and non-fiction reads, as well as the full list of the books I finished this year. My ratings were all over the place, so if any pique your interest, please ask!
Let me know if you’ve read any of these!
