BHB Reading List 2021

Updated 1/8/2022

TOTAL READ- 178

2021 has started and that means so has my new reading list. I am going to *try* to update this once a month but I have a tendency to get very behind when I get in over my head with work.

As I have explained in a lot of my posts about books and reading I will basically read anything. I read young adult books, thrillers, non-fiction, biographies, romances and basically anything that looks interesting to me. At any given point I have at least 10 books from the library in my house as I try not to buy to many books as I find it wasteful- and with how many books I read it would be a big drain on resources! That being said I did link to all these books on Amazon since I am not sure where you all live and could not link to every library catalogue. But just remember to keep the library in mind when embarking on a reading adventure!

I also decided to calculate how many pages I read this year as well so that is what the numbers in the brackets are! (Thought updating this now in 2022 I didn’t keep up with it so there is always this year!)
