All Books I Read in 2021 | Part 1

Jan 9, 2022

I did this post at the start of 2021, recapping all the books that I read through the previous year. And even though it takes quite a bit of time, I really enjoyed doing it. Not only to show you all what I read throughout, but also for me to look back on it. I ended up nearly reading 200 books in 2021, so I did have to split this post up into three different ones. But they are coming in the next few weeks!
