We can all agree that 2020 and 2021 have been strange. To me, the years blended together. I especially recognized this once I noticed that my 2020 book reading list was never published!
I know hardly anyone sees my annual reading list, but it’s not really about anyone else. To me, cronicalling my list of reading is one of my annual traditions to look back and reminance on all the good books and ideas I soaked in through the year.
Since we all feel like 2020 and 2021 were one blended year, that is how my reading list will be presented. 🙂
