New 2021 Books for Your Reading List
It’s January!
It’s time again to set the right tone for the new year.
Whether your goal in 2021 is to read more, read more thrillers, or dive into all the historical fiction books you can grab, which happen to be my goals, I think the most important thing is to have fun.
If 2020 has taught me something is to enjoy all the little things, including reading a book just for the pleasure of it. That’s why I took a break from social media over the past few months and skipped a few book clubs’ deadlines. I need to see things from a new and more relaxed perspective.
That’s why for me, 2021 will be the year of positivity, new opportunities, and definitely hundreds of new books.
Have a great New Reading Year!
