2021 reading list
*looks at date on calendar, sighs*. For something that is traditionally done in the first week or two of January, this is even later than last year's reading list went up!
Still trying to get through the magazine backlog, although to be fair the only one that is really miles behind now is Writing Magazine, and I am catching up with that slowly. There's also Ancient History magazine, but the main reason I have a load of those is because I only discovered the magazine existed at around issue 9, so at some point after I had got a few issues and knew I liked it, I went on their website and got hold of all the back issues. Although I am also quite behind on the 'current' issues as well...
