My Year In Books-2021 Version

I really liked this graphic presentation of the books I read and tracked on GoodReads, so here's my 2021 in books. They're all over the map, which is pretty accurate I'd say. A lot of quilt related books of course. I've set a goal to read 120 books in 2022, so hopefully next year, this post will be much much longer. 

GoodReads is an Amazon joint now, so it's integrated with the ebook and actual book purchases you make. I read a lot of library books too via kindle which is also Amazon of course, so it all goes into the same hopper. Except for the ebooks I buy via Kobo to support my local bookstore, Book Shop Santa Cruz. I have to add those in on my own, which is no big deal.
