Librariandoa's Books Read In 2021

 

Here's my grand list of books read in 2021.  Not all, perhaps not most, were published in 2021.  

I would find reviews of a new book, or even ads for a book by an author, get the first one, and in many cases I'd start reading all of the series.  In the case of long series, those with ten or more books, I may have bought them all, but I like variety in my reading so I sprinkle them in amongst other books. 

In 2021 for the first time, I wrote a review of everything I read, so I have an actual record.  With all of the notebooks I keep, you'd think I could do a well kept reading notebook.  It doesn't work for me.

Reviews for January through July of 2021 are on my MerlynPerilous blog (merged with this "Classic DOA blog in August of last year).   https://merlynperilous.wordpress.com/ 

I may be wary of 2022 in some ways (har har, I thought 2021 would be so lovely), but with my backlog of great books to read and new series to try, and a promising start of new books to be published in 2022, I expect reading wise that 2022 will be an excellent year.
