2021 Reading List in Review

My initial list had 111 titles. I set my Goodreads goal at 80 and will hit that as I currently have 3 books in progress (which is normal for me).

My 2021 list consisted mostly of what I considered 4 star ratings. 3 stars meant it was ok - I wouldn't recommend it but some might like it. 2 stars and 1 star were usually abandoned - I left at least 9 books unfinished this year.








My 5 star books were:
