What a year! It was a year of being cautious as school opened back up and restrictions were lifted, reinstated, lifted and reinstated…and now lifted but cautious again as numbers of COVID surge higher again. It was better than all the major anxiety of 2020 at least and I hope next year will be better.

According to Goodreads.com:

Honestly, I don’t know how accurate this is because at times I have 3 versions of the same book as “to read” or “read”. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So I know it’s close to this number but probably less. There are books I read and didn’t review either – mainly because I forgot or I ended up not liking it and didn’t want to spend energy saying why.

Once again, I’ve rated books quite high, even though I felt like this year I got more three star and DNF’ed books.

I wrote about my favorite book of this year. Here are the books I enjoyed the most in 2021 – just click the links below:

The lowest rated books for me are:

Most of these were mostly because I’m just not the right audience for it.

I hope all of you have an amazing New Year!! Please stay safe, stay healthy and here’s to a good 2022!

In review it was the worst year ever – lost family members to COVID, the anxiety was unreal, turn to stress eating and a daily coffee drinker now 🤦🏻‍♀️. Cancelled the family Disney Cruise which my daughter keeps insisting we are still going on when the virus disappears (not happening). BUT my friends and family are safe and healthy despite the crazy year…we got through it! Books got me through it so let’s see what I read!

According to Goodreads.com:

My goal was to read 70 books because I read close to 200 last year. Well…I tried getting to less than a hundred but in a pandemic year? Forget it!

151 sounds about right and wow, I rate books fairly high huh? 😁

And here are the books I read…

You know I did read more than this, a few were kindle unlimited series that I wanted to review all together in one post, but I’m waiting for the final book of the series to do it. Oh well…I’ll write them in 2021. There really were some amazing books this year!

As far as my blog format is concerned, I changed up the look a little this year by adding different banners for sections. More changes may be coming because I learn as I go and I may change how I write my reviews (again)…haha, I know, I know, more changes?!…I want more fun bookish content,. I just wish I had the time to spend on the blog. Anyway, we shall see how I feel! How did you do this year?
