Booknblues | 12047 comments In 2021, I promised myself just to lay back, have fun and not get overly involved in challenges. Instead while I still had fun, I became involved in many personal challenges and really enjoyed it, so I will continue with some of those again this year.

I read books from several awards.
I read books for Black History Month and several other notable months.
I followed several lists and read books from those.
I developed a few of my own lists, as Trim the TBR, Books Brought to the Top, Kindle Unlimited.
I began reading slow travel travelogues.
Some series I want to continue reading
And of course, I kept up with the PBT -tag of the month.
