Six in Six is Back for 2021!

Here we are in July, which means it's time for this fun meme hosted by Jo @ The Book Jotter.

The aim of Six in Six is to share what we've read in the first six months of the year by choosing six of the categories given and listing six books under each category. More information and the list of categories can be found here.

This meme has been going since 2012, but I've only participated since 2016. I found it's a great way to look back on what you've read so far in the year and to see any emerging trends.
