What I Read in 2021

Another year, another Goodreads reading challenge down! I was 2 books shy of my 2021 goal of 52 books, but still happy to hit 50 amidst a big move, a new coaching job, and a baby.

I’m officially halfway through my mission to average one book per week for a decade, and at this point I’m right on track, not a book to spare in either direction. Five down, five to go!

Here’s everything I read in 2021,
