There has always been a love/hate relationship with me and books! I firmly believe that ‘leaders are readers’ but dyslexia has always made reading a struggle. After finishing Susan Barton dyslexia course in the middle of 2021, I put that time and energy into reading and listening to books!
Since 2019 I have had a goal to read whatever year it is, that many books. Making this year 21 books in 2021! I sadly didn’t get in 20 books in 2020 but I made up for it in 2021! Check out 2019 Books in 2019!
Here is the list of books I have read or listened to in 2021:

I really enjoyed diving into fiction books. Fiction is very new to me! I normally stick with self-help books about life, faith & finances. But I have fallen in love with mystery fiction and look forward to expanding my fiction reading!
