Books that I read this year

Three years ago I took a decision to read daily for 2 hours (1 hour each in the morning and evening). Looking back, that was one of the best decisions I have taken and I could read 73 books this year. Since the pandemic struck, I did all my reading in Kindle (62 books) and Audible (11 books). This includes 26 books on (Auto)Biographies, 23 books on Current Affairs, 6 books each on Travelogue and Fiction, 5 books each on Business and History and 2 books on Sports.?Here is the list of books that I have read this year and I will soon do another post with the top 10 books from this list.
