Books read in 2021

[rich_jacko]

As was the case in 2020, 2021 was another year in which I haven't read as many books as I normally would. I was puzzled by this last year, given all the tedious extra free time I had. However, I reckon I've cracked the reason now - It's because I've tended to do a lot of my reading on trains and trams, and far less travelling has meant far less reading. However, I have stepped up my reading to something closer to my "normal" two books a month (although a couple of these were short graphic novels and another couple were extremely short). Quite an even mix of fiction and non-fiction this time. I can't be bothered writing mini reviews for them all, but suffice to say I enjoyed nearly all of them a great deal:

• The Time-travelling Caveman and Other Stories (Terry Pratchett)
• Peace Talks / Battle Ground (Jim Butcher)
• Between the Stops (Sandi Toksvig)
• Notes from a Small Island (Bill Bryson)
• Transformers: Regeneration One, '84 - Secrets and Lies (Simon Furman et al)
• Transformers / My Little Pony: Friendship in Disguise (Ian Flynn et al)
• To be Taught if Fortunate (Becky Chambers)
• Running in the Midpack (Martin Yelling, Anji Andrews)
• Sweet, Sweet Revenge Ltd. (Jonas Jonasson)
• The Blunders of Our Governments (Anthony King, Ivor Crewe)
• Artemis (Andy Weir)
• England Your England (George Orwell)
• No One is Too Small to Make a Difference (Greta Thunberg)
• Heroes / Troy (Stephen Fry)
• I am C-3PO: The Inside Story (Anthony Daniels)
• Piranesi (Susanna Clarke)
• Pan's Labyrinth (Guillermo del Torro & Cornelia Funke)
• All on the Board (All on the Board)
• The Christmas Pig (J.K. Rowling)
