The books I read in 2021

Well, this isn't as embarrassing a showing as last year, but embarrassing nonetheless. I’m going to strike it up to a big career change and some of these books being super long. 😏

Of course I still managed to log millions of words read via Pocket (and likely was their #1 reader again), so maybe 2021 wasn't that bad on the consumption side.
