It’s that time of the year where I share all the books I’ve read over the course of the year. I always try and read more than I read the year before but, to be honest, my main focus is enjoying reading – and I’ve definitely succeeded at that this year!

This post includes all of them so you know which to read and maybe which to avoid too! So here are all the books I read in 2021:

Our family loves to read and we’re always looking for books to enjoy with the children that can inspire them in their day to day lives by learning something new or reinforcing values we hold close. We were recently sent A Robot Called B4 and it is such a lovely story that I had to share it with you.

A Year of Nature Craft and Play is a new activity book by Becky Goddard-Hill and Catherine Hughes. Designed to inspire kids to get creative with nature, it’s filled with 52 crafts, gardening projects, games, art activities and science experiments to keep them busy all year. Each activity uses materials that are easy to find in nature, so they’re low cost, eco-friendly and simple to organise.

Although our children love to read, I’m always looking for new ways to inspire their creativity and learn something new. We were recently sent a few issues of The Phoenix – a brilliant comic for children.

One thing that has come out of the pandemic for us is the children’s love of Minecraft. They discovered it pretty much a year ago and it’s always the first thing they want to play. But, in looking for ways to expand their love of Minecraft, so they could enjoy it both on screen and off, we discovered Minecraft World Magazine.

It will come as no surprise to regular readers that LP and Little Man love books and nothing excites them more than getting a new book through the post. So when The Secret Lives of Two Googly-Eyed Cats by Henrietta Mackenzie arrived they wanted to read it straight away!

Each year I try and read more and I also try and read more than the year before. This year I also made a decision that I would read every unread book in my house before reading anything else.
So here is what I read in 2020:
