My end of year content (namely <a href=\"https:\/\/thestripe.com\/2021-in-review\/\">this post<\/a> and a few others that are in the works) is more in depth and tends to take a longer time to put together&#8230; I&#8217;d hoped to have this post done before LA but that did not happen with all the preparation for <a href=\"https:\/\/thestripe.com\/my-chappywrap-collection-is-here\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">yesterday&#8217;s big launch.<\/a> So here we are, with everything I read this year!<\/p>\n<p>Last year, I read 80 books! This is the least I&#8217;ve read in a bit (last year it was 96, the year before it was 83). I don&#8217;t set reading goals but it makes sense that I read less than I did last year (still a lot). First of all, we were locked down for quite a bit of 2020 so I read much more than usual. Also, I listened to a lot more audio books in 2020 (walks were the key to my sanity). This year, I moved, started dating someone, and spent a lot more time with family so I had less time to read. I am not surprised. <em><strong>How many books did you read last year?
