Reading Challenge 2021

Reading Challenge 2021 is ready! I don’t know about you, but I don’t know how I would have survived 2020 without books. Every time I got unsettling news, I found myself in front of my library. I was soothed by the books that I bought and forgot, and so glad to rediscover them. Therefore, in 2021, all my expectations will be from the books again. Especially this year, I plan to be happier than ever with books.

Reading Challenge 2021

Instead of preparing any theme for Reading Challenge 2021, I wanted to prepare an eclectic and uplifting reading list. However, while preparing the list, I wanted it to make me and other readers happy. I have only one request from you; When choosing your books, please focus on the ones you think will make you so very happy. These can be romance or horror novels, whatever makes you happy. Let’s read this year for more fun than anything else; I think we so deserve it.
