\"Everything<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This year, I read 87 books. Last year it was 80, the year before (pandemic) it was 96, and the year before that it was 83. I never set reading goals but it’s always interesting to see how the year shakes out. I wasn’t sure if I would net out higher or lower than last year. This year had its stressors (the process of buying my house was very stressy, I escaped into my thrillers!) My reading patterns were ultimately pretty similar to last year. Lots of thrillers and mysteries, per ush. Maybe a little less romance as I am no longer doing the podcast and that was Becca’s genre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The books I enjoyed the most were of the more literary nature. If I had to pick a favorite book from the whole year it would be Cloud Cuckoo Land<\/a>, <\/strong>by Anthony Doerr. I still think about it – a masterpiece! How many books did you read last year? And what was your favorite?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS – If you want longer reviews of any of these books, just search The Library.<\/a> They’re also each reviewed in my monthly reading lists. And if you are looking to read more this year, read this post: How to Read More Books.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PPS – A reminder that this is all subjective. There were books considered great works that I just didn’t enjoy. I am not a literary critic, just a person who likes to read and share my opinions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with last year, I chose not to rank these – it’s impossible to rank them, they were all really enjoyable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
