# THAT NOD THO

#BookChallenge2021

So here is the #BookChallenge I put together for the year, muxing up categories from several Book Challenge lists I spotted on the net, such as POPSUGAR Reading Challenge or the Reading Women Challange. It counts 30 books as I will hopefully read a few more?

I put together one that could provide me a mix of pushing me out of my comfort zone/broadening my horizons and a very much deserved in this crazy long night self-indulgence. 

I am sharing it, even if it’s a bit late for this kind of projects but what is Time during a pandemic? The passage of time has been long lost ever since… Anyway! I am sharing this hoping to provide useful/intersting tips or - who knows? - inspiration to do this or a similar challenge to fellow bookworms and not. I added flags on certain categories so you know what to expect, that is where to find queer content or where to set sails. After all, in a time where travelling is pretty much not an option, a book can a be the best airplane ticket to fly around this big troubled world forgetting the current chaos…

❝The truth is my idea has been to always stay at Barcelona and see out the rest of my career here. Like I always say, one doesn’t know what can happen in the future, but if it were up to me to decide, I would stay at Barcelona for the rest of my career.❞ thank you, lionel messi 💖
