What I read in 2021

 


At the beginning of the year, I set a goal for myself to read at least 100 books in 2021. I'm happy to say that I surpassed the goal, ending the year with 103 books read.

 The average rating for the books I read was 4.03 stars, broken down as follows:

  • 5 stars - 33 books
  • 4 stars - 40 books
  • 3 stars -  30 books

The 4.03 stars average was higher than the 3.96 stars in 2020.

Undoubtedly, my Goodreads Choice Awards reading challenge contributed to the higher ratings this year since the 28 books I read as part of the challenge resulted in a 4.11 average. Unlike last year, when the New York Times Bestseller challenge pulled down my average, this year's reading challenge raised it. I'm planning to continue the challenge in 2022, so we'll see if the 2021 Goodreads Choice Award finalists are as good as the 2020 books.

In my next post, I'll list my top ten reads of 2021. Stay tuned!
