Towards the end of 2021 I ran into some reading blocks and didn’t recommend any new books for a couple of months. At that point I was feeling a bit let down about the year’s reading UNTIL I looked back over my posts from earlier in the year and remembered I did read a lot of really good books.
Here are my favorite books published (and links to posts about them) in 2021 in no particular order:
In the links to my original posts you will not find any spoilers, just more info on why I loved the book and why you may too.
Amazon links are included for your convenience but I support you buying local or borrowing from the library.
