I plan on doing fewer challenges in 2021 and reading more of my own books-especially the long ones.
As well, I have a lot of Complete Works of various authors as ebooks books and plan on reading at least one work from each one that I haven't finished yet.
I've only finished three so far-so I have lots left to read.
