I have been adding books to my "Want to Read" lists for 2021. If I was organised these would all be neatly together on Good Reads, but are actually scattered around Good Reads, Amazon wish lists and elsewhere, so I am going to jot down a list here as a reminder.
Here are some books I hope to read in 2021:
Fiction
- The Book of Lost Names (Kristin Harmel)
- The Jane Austen Society (Natalie Jenner)
- The Midnight Library (Matt Haig)
- This is How You Lose the Time War (Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone)
- The Secret Chapter (Genevieve Cogman) - Invisible Library series #6
- The Dark Archive (Genevieve Cogman) - Invisible Library series #7
Children's Fiction
- The Moon of Gomrath (Alan Garner)
- The Subtle Knife (Philip Pullman)
- The Amber Spyglass (Philip Pullman)
History
- Home: a Time-Traveller's Tales from British Pre-History (Francis Pryor)
- Endell Street: the Women Who Ran Britain's Trailblazing Military Hospital (Wendy Moore)
- Pax Britannica trilogy (Jan Morris)
- Coronation Everest (Jan Morris)
- Nye: the Political Life of Aneurin Bevan (Nicklaus Thomas-Symonds)
Travel / Places
- Venice (Jan Morris)
- Between the Woods and the Water (Patrick Leigh Fermor)
- A Time to Keep Silence (Patrick Leigh Fermor)
Science
- The End of Everything (Katie Mack)
- Breath: the New Science of a Lost Art (James Nestor)
Other Non-Fiction
- Sightlines (Kathleen Jamie)
- The Wild Silence (Raynor Winn)
- Craeft: an Inquiry in the Origins and True Meaning of Traditional Crafts (Alexander Langlands)

I like to give myself an annual Challenge target on Good Reads. For the past two years I have set a target of 52 and only made it to 35. This year I have rounded down to 50, and as I am determined to read more this year I hope to achieve it.

The Midnight Library is *so* good! I need to catch up on my BookNotes posts — that's one I read during Christmastide ....
This is an inspiring list, lots of good things here 🤗 and a few more for me to add to my library requests ...
