And so 2021 reading comes to a close. And so some observations.

- In 2021 I read 151 books. I set out to read 100. Between 100 and 150 is my normal, and feels about right for my reading pace.
- I think of that 151 about 27 were audiobooks. I had a good year in audiobooks and enjoyed them from both Audible and Libby – which came into play in September and meant I cut back to one credit a month at Audible. As Audible now has quite a few books in the Audible Plus section for members that gives even more possibilities. So many great narrators.Sandra Burr, Dick Hill,Mia Gaskin, Katherine Kellgren, January LaVoy, Brittany Pressley… to name but a few.
- I am a reader who once I find a good series, I generally stay faithful to it. And in 2021 t was no different. I continued with some, finished a couple and started a few new ones. So some of the series I am into, not all!Mary Marks finished her series and is no longer writing. I started the Haunted Library and Anna Lee Huber series and am all caught up. I’ve read some of Karen Rose but am now committing to going right back to the beginning.
- Last week I looked at new to me authors, so here I’ll mention some of the “old faves” authors I again read in 2021.

5. And a small observation to end the year. I started out intending to read…
But its still sitting on the sideboard with only a few pages read. But… I did read and enjoy
And I set off looking at the life and times of Jane Austen on You Tube, seeing where she lived etc. I will want to read some more about her and I will get to Pride and Prejudice and then Emma, but learning some of the way women lived in those times will enable me to better understand her books.
