Something new I did this year was a Book Bracket. I picked my favorite book of the month and then compared them. Shouldn't surprise anyone that I did something like this, ha.
Winner for the year!
I knew as soon as I read this one it would be tough to top and it held up through the whole year. I LOVED this book!
You can see my other monthly faves in the image above. I really liked doing the bracket and am going to do it again!
And that's my reading for 2021!!

What's your goal for 2022?? I like the bracket thing!
I love this book bracket. I would struggle with this because I read so much nonfiction so how would I pit a parenting book against a fiction? Apples and oranges. Also I finally have The Good Sister in my possession from the library but I have two other books due back first so maybe I'll get to it by end of February.
