*2021 - 50 BOOKS FOR THE YEAR*

Can I join please, I managed 42 books last year. I am starting with The Glasshouse by Eve Chase.

Great thread and idea Terri, thank you.
I definitely need to up my reading this year. I've been dreadful.
I started reading Tom Bower's biography of Johnson when it came out, but haven't really made headway.
I listen to books on Audible a lot, but I don't really pay much attention, it's more of a background / relaxation thing.
I look forward to seeing everyone's recommendations, and, fingers crossed, hope to add my own contributions.

Oh dear! Just found out it’s a children’s/ teen book. Only 145 pages, I will plod through it though.

I’m aiming to be very frugal this year having recently retired from the NHS. I’m planning on using the Libby and Overdrive apps to source books I want using my library card or reading from my Kindle unlimited app (technically not free I know) Starting with “Be amazing - an inspiring guide to being your own champion” by Chris Hoy, looking for a bit of New Years motivation to exercise.

I've got Obama's book as an Audible on my new Echo Dot - he's narrating and has such a mellifluous voice that you could listen to all day.

Coincidentally, I’ve been reading “Becoming” by Michelle Obama and she has a most engaging style. A while back, extracts were read on Woman's Hour which sparked my interest.

Well, I am reading Obama’s The Promised Land- just started and it is a big read so will, almost certainly read it alongside other books.

But so far and I’m only up to his marriage it echoes his voice exactly?. It is eminently readable.

I'll kick off with my first read of the year which I'd already started, just!
