Read Your Shelves Challenge 2021 - hosted by caitlinsbooks

The well intended non-fiction pick
Self improvement, a memoir, maybe a book on a subject you're really interested in. I feel like almost everyone has at least one (quite a few more than one in my case!) non-fiction book that we bought with the best intentions of getting around to it!
