And that, my friends, is a wrap on the books I’ve read in 2021! Fifty-six Aussies (and three of them read twice) and four international authors. 

I beat last year’s effort of 57 books, but I’m not sure I could manage very many more … perhaps I’ll try for 65? Make sure to pop back again to my website for the 2022 list – I’m enjoying my first read for the year and can’t wait to share it with you.
