Attention book lovers! I’ve set myself a reading challenge for 2021 and I’d love for you to join me.
I know what it’s like to be a busy mum (ie not have much time for reading), so I’ll only include 12 books in the challenge. However, I’ll also include an additional six books for those of you who will have no problem smashing through 12 books in one year.
As a chronic migraine sufferer, I don’t read as many books as I’d like too but thanks to an almost six-month lockdown here in Melbourne (#bloodycovid), I actually managed to read 30 books in 2020.
I’m not sure how this year will pan out, but I’m aiming to read 25 books this year.
You can see how I went in my 2020 reading challenge here.
I can’t wait to get started on this challenge and hopefully find some new favourites that I just can’t put down.
