Books I Loved Reading This Year

I achieved my 2021 GoodReads Reading Challenge – 80 books! I can hardly believe it, but then again, I’ve not been as active in writing this year. I guess that’s where most of my time went.

I’ve gotten to read quite a few good books, but there were only a handful that I’d say I really liked. Here are the most recent 10 books that I’ve rated 5 out of 5 in GoodReads this year:

  • Ariadne, by Jennifer Saint
  • Small Favors, by Erin A. Craig
  • The Raven and the Reindeer, by T. Kingfisher
  • For One More Day, by Mitch Albom
  • The Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller
  • Somebody’s Daughter, by Ashley C. Ford
  • Calvin and Hobbes #10 There’s Treasure Everywhere, by Bill Watterson
  • The Ocean at the End of the Lane, by Neil Gaiman
  • Shit My Dad Says, by Justin Halpern
  • Beautiful, Complicated Family, by Rosey Lee

What book/s have you read this year that you liked most?

    Wow, what an accomplishment! I read this year, but I only re-read books that I hadn’t in a long time. Definitely a hobby worth returning to for the peace and quiet!

      Thank you. I’ve picked up later in the year. It’s a good escape now that I’m mostly at home still.

    Impressed with these 80 books, in my best years I must have been around 50, but the last few years have been far from that, too much blogging I guess. Keep up the good work!

      Thank you! I think I have a lot of catching up to do on my blogging so I will try to find a balance next year

    Lovely selection of books! I have read some beauties this year but my most recent favourite was Apples Never Fall by Leanne Moriarty. Much more in depth than I initially thought it would be. Happy New Year to you 🙂

      Thanks for giving me a tip, will line that up in 2022. I’m reading The Last Anniversary now by the same author. Happy New Year to you too!
