This is now my fourth year of recording the books that I read. It’s a process I’ve become more organised with, and has evolved over the years. Please do click through and read my lists for 2018, 2019, and 2020. Don’t forget to also pop over to my #bookstagram page on Insta where I have a post for each book (from the 2020 books on).

And that, my friends, is a wrap on the books I’ve read in 2021! Fifty-six Aussies (and three of them read twice) and four international authors.
I beat last year’s effort of 57 books, but I’m not sure I could manage very many more … perhaps I’ll try for 65? Make sure to pop back again to my website for the 2022 list – I’m enjoying my first read for the year and can’t wait to share it with you.
