2021 Reading Roundup + Reading Goals of 2022

Updated: Dec 13, 2022

As it is already one week before 🎄 Christmas 🎄 and I already know dang well I am not reading books over break, I decided to go ahead and type up my reading roundup. Not only a roundup of all the books I've read, but seeing if I reached by goals and jotting down more goals for the year 2022.


2021 was still chaotic, but DEFINTELY better than 2020. I not only read more books this year, but everything that involved COVID had dilled down just a tad. Except for the new variation, but that's not my place to talk about. Anyway, here are all of the books I've read in 2021, along with the rating I gave. After I jot down what I've read, I'll get into an overall rating of my reading in 2021, what I expected+ achieved, and a few other things. I'll also address my goal of books, my goal in general, and a few other things I how to reach the year of 2022. Let's go ahead and get into it. :)


🤎 = A Favorite

🏫 = Class Book

🎧 = Audiobook

📹 = I've Watched The Movie

🔞 = tbh, if this is on a book, then I had no idea it was erotica

💗 = I LOVED THISS <33
