2021 Books reading list

 I thought that I was going to expend 2021 in bed so I set up my reading goal to 100 books… fortunately life happened and I was able to enjoy a lot of fantastic non-book worm

 related activities:) so 81 books were a good compromise… the theme was around zen, Japanese culture, sci-fi, fantasy, AI and pain and disease management… 

It was sooo difficult because the first 60ish books are fantastic:) (pun intended) Grateful to the book clubs and friends for wonderful recommendations outside my comfort zone. “If you help someone, you help everyone.” -May Parker #bookstagram

I can recommend the books up to number 66… after, don’t bother ! Please buy books from smaller stores like Hive. Wishing you a happy 2022 full of good books, friends, love, hugs, kisses, peace, healthy, fun, sex, dance, learning, challenges, growth, kindness, compassion and laughs
