9 Tips to Read More Books in 2021
So you want to read more books this year? I was in the same boat, so I sat down and analyzed my habits to come
Foundation (Foundation #1) by Isaac Asimov – Book Review
In the first part of this book, we had some space exploration. It was atmospheric and gave us a glimpse at the technologically advanced universe with space travel. More of a modern sci-fi storyline as
Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life by Nir Eyal – Book Review
While I preferred the applicational approach in Atomic Habits, Indistractable was transferable into my work life, so I got a lot from this. Nevertheless, there’s something in here for everyone, and it’s still worth the
48 Hours by William R. Forstchen – Book Review
3.5 stars, rounding it up to 4, because why not? 48 Hours is your typical apocalyptic story. You’re following two POVs; one is of the President and those around him, the other of two common
Foundryside (The Founders Trilogy #1) by Robert Jackson Bennett – Book Review
Here we have a heist with mystery, an exceptional magic system (maybe a new favorite), just okay characters, and great world-building. This is everything I wished Six of Crows was. Let’s talk about the one
A Universe of Wishes: A We Need Diverse Books Anthology by Dhonielle Clayton – Book Review
I did it. I finally finished this collection of short stories after almost five months. I was flirting with throwing this into my DNF pile, but I stuck it out, and here I am writing
Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi – Book Review
The synopsis sounded interesting, and this is shelved on Goodreads as fantasy, sci-fi-dystopian, and speculative fiction, which I love to read. Then we have the important topic of race, which usually has some hard-hitting moments,
The Way of Kings (The Stormlight Archive #1) by Brandon Sanderson – Book Review
So, after a decade of not reading and finally getting back into it, I’ve been reading mostly hyped Bookstagram YA fantasy and ultimately stomping all over them because they fall short in all their potential.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley – Book Review
I’ve been excited to read classics—especially dystopian sci-fi. So, here we are writing a review of Brave New World. The first couple of chapters were explosive. They were horrific. It took me by surprise, hit
Skyward (Skyward #1) by Brandon Sanderson – Book Review
I thought I was over YA books. I’ve been reading so many lately, and they’ve mostly all been a miss and kind of annoying with the same ol’ powerful female protagonists, with the hot BF,

Andrzej Sapkowski knows how to tell a story and tells stories within stories. This is like playing a game and finding yourself enjoying all the side missions instead of playing the main storyline. I loved every second of it…
