Athena's Reading List 2021

Recommended Posts

Wow.. 2021!

 

2020 was.. a different year. As I'm writing this, on 28 December 2020, a lot of countries in the world are still dealing with Covid-19, which was first seen in the last quarter of 2020 (I'm being vague because I don't want to be wrong as I am not 100% sure of the date). I think most if not all of us on this forum, or at least all of the regular members, are still strugging with this and the effects of many aspects of life.

 

I really hope that in 2021, with vaccines and common sense, we'll be safe and will be able to go out again and see people and go to shops etc. 

 

Personally, I bought a house in December 2019 and signed the final contract in February 2020. We spent some months doing DIY and house repairs etc (while still living with my parents at their place). My partner and I moved in August 2020.

 

Welcome to my 2021 reading log!

 

I didn't really update my 2020 log after a while.. I was busy with moving and I didn't feel like writing down thoughts on so many books that I'd read (and I don't get that many comments in here so I'm sure that a lot of books I read, are probably not that interesting to some people here. Which is fair, I read a lot of different things).

 

I don't know how things will go, going forwards into 2021. I guess we will see.
