2021 Book Log

I'm very excited about my reading list this year! I have a huge pile of books I bought or won in 2020 that I haven't had the opportunity to read yet. I also have a large wishlist, which includes many of my favorite authors who have books coming out in 2021. Yay! 

As always, I count chapter books or works such as books of poetry or plays. I do not count children's picture books toward my goal of 100, but I do include children's chapter books if they're a normal sort of length (not beginner chapter books or really short chapter books like the American Girl series). I will keep one log of books read. I will also include the 2 reading challenges I'm joining this year, and I will add to them each month as I complete the required book.
