For several years now I have refused to focus on number goals for reading. This past year I have read mostly non-fiction reference and research books for work projects, putting fiction on the backburner. Other than a few Plaidy/Holt books, and my book clubs reads, I haven’t read and reviewed historical fiction at all. I’d like to break out of this slump, and decided the best way to do this is by clearing out my Kindle. First I deleted the ones I wasn’t truly interested in reading, and I’m now left with nearly 30 books that have been collecting for years. Below is the list that I’m claiming as my 2021 reading goal!
