52 in 52  (13+) A reading challenge to read 52 books in 52 weeks! Think you're up to it? #2144341 by Jayne

in 2021 Yes; I may well be crazy. No; it is very likely I won't complete it. I'm not sure it is humanly possible for me. However, I am going to give it my best shot, and I'm quite excited about it.

So, in order to help me do this, I've gone through the themes for each week and found books in my Kindle library or on my physical bookshelves that I haven't read yet that fit with the themes. I am going to list them here and tick them off when they are done. It will be good to see my progress on this list.

I haven't filled in all the slots yet. Some of them are wildcards, so I will see what I feel like reading when I come to them. There are some slots where I've not been able to find books I fancy yet (I'm open to any ideas you may have).
