My goal for 2021 was to read 20 books. I read 24! I’m going for 22 in 2022.

Here’s the list of books I read in 2021, organized by date read.

1. A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis

2. How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi

3. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates

4. White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo

5. A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost

6. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

7. Cibola Burn (The Expanse, #4) by James S.A. Corey. I started this series before watching the TV show adaptation The Expanse on Prime Video. The show has gone past what I’ve read so I’m now playing catch up. There are enough differences between the books and show to still make these a fun read.

8. Bridges: Ministering to Those Who Question by David B. Ostler. Highly recommended for members of the LDS (Mormon) church who want to understand and maintain relationships with those who question or even leave the church.

9. Abaddon’s Gate (The Expanse #3) by James S.A. Corey. Yes, I did accidentally read book four before book three. The TV show already covered both books so it wasn’t a big deal, thankfully.

10. Nemesis Games (The Expanse #5) by James S.A. Corey

11. Naked by David Sedaris

12. Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris

13. Oh God Not Again! by Sarah1281

14. Babylon’s Ashes (The Expanse, #6) by James S.A. Corey

15. Lux (Texas Reckoners, #1) by Brandon Sanderson

16. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Excellent book.

17. Persepolis Rising (The Expanse, #7) by James S.A. Corey

18. Tiamat’s Wrath (The Expanse, #8) by James S.A. Corey

19. Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick

20. The New One: Painfully True Stories from a Reluctant Dad by Mike Birbiglia

21. Children of Time (Children of Time, #1) by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I absolutely loved this.

22. Cytonic (Skyward, #3) by Brandon Sanderson

23. Leviathan Falls (The Expanse, #9) by James S.A. Corey

24. Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez. Wow. I thought I knew how big of a dumpster fire the world is for women, but it’s so much worse than I thought. Highly recommended.
