Observation about my reading list: I re-read a lot of kids book this year as a way of comforting myself during a stressful time. I’ve always been the kind of person who has re-read books or re-watched favorite movies and TV shows to escape into a familiar, safe world. There’s comfort in knowing how the story is going to end, so you can simply enjoy the journey.
Observation two: All the murder mysteries– my sister got me into reading cozy mysteries. Despite being about murder, they are indeed, cozy reads.
Goals for reading in 2021: I’m going to take this year a little at a time. I would like to read 40 or more books this year, but I won’t stress myself out to do it. I would also like to add a few more non-fiction books to the mix so I can continue learning and growing. After all, the mind is one of the greatest assest we will ever have.
