Books

I read 38 books in 2021, a bit short of the 50 I was aiming for.

Games

This was the year of big RPGs for me: Mass Effect: Legendary Edition and The Witcher 3 took up most of my time, but honourable mentions to Scandi fairytale Röki, Crow-on-a-mission Death's Door, and the weird as hell The Sexy Brutale.
