Books I Read in 2021
Thursday, January 28th, 2021 09:57 pmThis is my post to keep track of the books I've read in 2021. I am participating in Novel Knight's Beat the Backlist Challenge for the fourth year in a row. There is no sign-up for it this year. A relative of mine is doing it with me for the second time this year, which I'm grateful for. I enjoyed reading with that relative last year. I am also going to include sections in this post for books on my to-be-read list that don't qualify for this year's Beat the Backlist for various reasons.
