To sum up this year, much like last year I didn’t read as much as I was hoping to, but I did read more than in 2020 – 94 books in 2021 compared with 83 in 2020. My TBR list has also increased from 126 to 144 books, so I obviously bought more in 2021 – oops! The big news in 2021 was that I signed a contract to write my own book, to be published by Pen and Sword, which I have just finished writing so that took up much of my time in 2021.

Below is the genre breakdown for my 2021 reading. Most of my books, as I expected, were historical. Most of the genres where I only read one were book club reads.
