Let’s Talk Bookish

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having an amazing day and staying safe. I can’t believe that this is the last day of 2021, this year has definitely been a bit of a rollercoaster. I started off the year extremely stressed and not particularly happy with where I was in life and I’m ending it, half way through I made a massive change in my life and am ending the year in a different country surrounded by the amazing I have had the opportunity to meet and am really looking forward to what the year ahead has in store for me. And all of this without even thinking of the ongoing pandemic and all the the changes that has wrought.

Today I thought I would take part in another Let’s Talk Bookish meme post as this topic is perfect for the last day of the year. This is a meme hosted by Rukky at Eternity Books and Dani at Literary Lion and each month they come up with a list of topics for us all to discuss and share our opinions on as well as spreading the love by reading each others posts.

DECEMBER 31: REFLECTING ON YOUR 2021 READING/BLOGGING YEAR (Rukky @ Eternity Books)

What did you accomplish reading and blogging wise in 2021? What are you most proud of? What are you most disappointed by? If there’s something new you tried in 2021 with your reading or blogging, what was it and how did that turn out? How do you think you’ve grown as a reader/blogger? What would you advise yourself as we look to 2022?

So my reading and blogging has been pretty all over the place this year mostly due to not having any time to myself at the beginning of the year and trying to get into new habits and routines for the end but I do think things are starting to look up a bit.

This was one of the worse reading years I have had since 2016 in terms or quantity of books that I have read having read 59 books this year. However, I am proud of myself for managing to read as much as I didn’t think I would manage this much. I do believe however that despite not reading as much as I would usually read the quality of the books I read were pretty decent. I had a few DNFs but the majority of books were 4/5 star reads which I am pleased with.

Overall, I’m not disappointed with how this year went and I’m looking forward to what 2022 will bring to my reading life.
