Here are the books I read in 2021 – broken out by month. I love reading and found keeping track of each completed book on this page to be a lot of fun. 

As you scroll through the list, you will notice the following format for each:

  • Date completed
  • Format – physical book, audiobook, or Ebook
  • Type – fiction or nonfiction 
  • One sentence description
  • Recommendation as to who would enjoy the particular book
  • And a link to it in case you want to read it yourself

I hope you enjoy this list as much as I did in creating it!
