2021 Reading Summary

1/4/2022

0 Comments

 
I didn't quite meet my 2020 numbers (121 to 125) and I didn't read at least one nonfiction book a month. I got fairly close, nine nonfiction books. For 2022, I'm going to again try for one nonfiction a month as well as trying to read more marginal authors and more translated works. I only read 44 works by POC, LGBTQA+, or disabled authors. Only five translated works--that's a poor showing. However, three-quarters of the books I read were written by women. 

Here's a breakdown of my reading by genre:

I'm surprised I read so much fantasy. I mean, I've actively been trying to read other genres. Although, I am pleased with how many horror I read last year.

My top 5 Kids/YA books of the year are:
Game Changer, by Neal Shusterman
The Iron Widow, by Xiran Jay Zhao 
The Ghost Road, by Charis Cotter
The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, by T. Kingfisher
The Insiders, by Mark Oshiro

My top 10 Adult books of the year are:
Motorcyles & Sweetgrass, by Drew Hayden Taylor     My Brilliant Life, by Kim Ae-ran
A Head Full of Ghosts, by Paul Tremblay                  The Last House on Needless Street, by Catriona Ward
Mirrorland, by Carole Johnstone                              The Lost Village, by Camilla Sten
