30 Day Challenge | 30 Books in 30 Days (Again!)

I’m back with my first 30 Day Challenge of 2021! To read 30 books in 30 days (again!).

I’ve recently returned to my flat in London and my book-buying habits over the last few months have not slowed down. As such, I have A LOT of books that I want to read just sitting on my bookshelves and Kindle.

This month I intend to try and read the 30 books in the list below. Last time I managed 18 books out of 30 so I’m aiming to hit at least 20 of these 30. I know the aim should be to hit 30 but with a full-time job, three side hustles, and a life semi-out-of-lockdown I know that’s going to be a BIG challenge.

But I’m going to try. So, without further ado here are the books I’ve decided to attempt to read in the next 30 days.
