My month of the least reading was in July when I read 40 books.
My month of the most reading was in March when I read 185 books.

I think March was when one of the public libraries close to me opened back up for browsing--I read a lot of picture books and youth nonfiction that month!  I moved across the country in July and August and those, consequently, were my two lowest reading months (40 and 61, respectively).  June was the only other month I read under 100 books (85) and that was likely because I was packing for my move!

For comparison, my 2020 totals:
Total: 1199
