All the books I read this year and one sentence reviews

These are all the books I read in 2021 with one-sentence reviews.

I am so impressed with myself because I read 78 books and 15,716 pages.

Some interesting statistics are that I only read 2 books with over 500 pages and 17 books with 300-499 pages so the rest were short. I think a little goal for 2022 would be to try and read some longer books.

I read 62% fiction and 38% non-fiction which is interesting. I don't feel like I read that much non-fiction but I definitely want to read a similar amount or more non-fiction next year.

I also gave 61 books 4- or 5-star reviews which is really cool because it means I highly enjoyed most of my reading.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Enjoyed these two of Rooney's short stories, but definitely prefer her novels, so looking forward to getting my hands on Beautiful World, Where Are You.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

A classic short story with an interesting look at mental health in women at the time and how useless the methods to help were.
