The 2021 Reads

BRONX, NY – Hello readers!  I shared my 2020 reading list, so it’s only fair I create the 2021 list was well. From what I can see 2021 was the year of sequels, which I did not plan at all. Alondra allowed me to borrow her Sailor Moon mangas to prepare me for the movies that were released on Netflix. For NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), I went back to La Borinqueña for research purposes. Did I win NaNoWriMo? No. I failed miserably, but there is always next year.
