To-Read Book List for 2021

It’s another time to me to plan for my reading in the new year. I know I will not read every book on this list, but with 63 books you have no more excuses about where to start reading in 2021.

Here was my reading list for 2020. Here the list of what I ended up reading in 2020. Here is the one for 2019.

I belong to a book club at Naija Book Club where we spur ourselves unto reading. It has a page here too.
