I read 50 books in 2021. It was the most productive year of reading I’ve ever had. I love reading, but I don’t always do it on a regular basis. And I’m not sure what exactly sparked and sustained my run last year. I’ve been way less productive lately. In fact, at the time of writing in March 2022, I’ve yet to finish a single book this year. WTF, lol. Anyway, here are the books I read in 2021 and my personal ratings:
