2021 books

in an effort to take more photos in 2023 than I did in 2022, I wanted to be better about updating this blog. I wanted to start with doing my post of the books that I read in 2022, but when I went to post it, I noticed that I never did a 2021 books post. so here we are.

you'll notice a gap of sorts when I was going through flight attendant training and my first month or so flying. I'm happy to say that I am back on track and reading (almost) every single day, with a streak currently on Beanstack of 324 days as of January 20th. the asterisk denotes a book that I was not reading for the first time.
