Let’s see how my challenges went this 2021. I need to say that I read a lot this year except for some months where I had a lot of work (and no lockdown this year so less time to read – not that I have a job that locks down since I’m one of the lucky one which store is open during lockdowns, but I digress…)
Generally, everything was fine as you can see from the chart below and seeing that for some challenges I read a lot more, now I will talk about them one by one
Mount TBR
I wanted to read 12 books that I own. Apparently I’m more able to read books that I don’t own and use my library (and some I added or bought in 2021). But I finished the challenge: 13 / 12
