Remembering 2021, and Challenging Again – The 100 Book Challenge

2021 was quite the year. We were one year into when the world went into a complete shutdown. A lot of lives were lost to Covid-19. Plans had to be put completely on hold. Travel came to a screeching halt. People stayed sheltered in. Lives were disrupted. Workers were laid off and had to work from home. Children had to be homeschooled. Everyone had to learn about a new technology called Zoom and rearrange their lives totally.

2021 had its year of celebrations and anniversaries. One of them was the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. The first book read for 2021 reflected the homage of the anniversary called, The Nation Must Awake, My Witness to The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.

Reading for the year did not begin until Oct 20. Within two days, I read 24 books to catch up. The goal every year is to read 34 books in October, 33 in November, & 33 in December. Most of the time, it does not happen that way. The important thing was to reach the goal by December 31st.

The 100 book challenge was for 3 months in 2021.

A new and powerful challenge is to read 100 books in 2023 between April 1 and December 31. Are you up for the challenge?
