It is that time of year again. I am finishing up the two book challenges I have done for many years. Pop Sugar and Read Harder 2021. A few stats. I read 36 books written by women. 24 books written by men. And of those 60 books 28 were written by authors of color. The best book I read in 2021 was the first book of the year, Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart. My top ten reads of 2021: Shuggie Bain, Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell, Jack by Marilynne Robinson, Becoming Duchess Goldblatt by Anonymous, The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich, Mr. Loverman by Bernadine Evaristo, Men We Reaped by Jessmyn Ward, The Prophets by Robert Jones JR, Goodbye Vitamin by Rachel Kuong, Deacon King Kong by James McBride. I wish my recommendation of these extraordinary books would sit you down and get you all to read. I still have to finish a book to complete my challenges. HarlemShuffle# by ColsonWhitehead# netgalley# I simply could not make myself read challenge 18 of RH. Read a book about/by a non western world leader. Just no. Right up there with horror and true crime. Oh, and self help.
