Welcome 2022! Goodbye 2021 & Thank you for not being as horrible as 2020 was. As for my reading in 2021…also not as horrible as 2020 reading. My 2020 totals were 28 books & 9,253 pages. Not too bad…but my goal was 75 books at the start of the pandemic. I figure for sure with two months off of work i could read tons. I was not expecting how consuming just thinking about Covid-19 would be. My whole time off was literally stressing over everything and way too distracted to read anything. By the end of summer, i had changed my goal to 50….still didn’t make it. :/ 2021 was much better!
