My top 10 (fiction) books of 2021 - in no particular order! I read 87 books this year, despite two wild semesters of grad school. That’s a full 30 more than last year ... but it somehow feels like I read less?
@the-z-part​ adapted an awesome Reading Superlatives list from BooksandLala’s annual list, which I am shamelessly copying. For the sake of diversifying the titles, I did not include my top tens or repeats! (This made for a very difficult task, and I had to cheat once.)
✨Superlatives:✨
Favorite 2021 release: The Witness for the Dead by Katherine Addison
Favorite older title (5+ years): Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. DIck
Lived up to the hype: Black Water Sister by Zen Cho
Didn’t live up to the hype: Goldenhand by Garth Nix
Biggest reading accomplishment: The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djèlí Clark (an accomplish because I finally laid hands on it! My library doesn’t have it.)
Fav character: 💕✨ Keyne from Sistersong by Lucy Holland ✨💞🌟
Least fav character: Everyone but Sevro in Red Rising by Pierce Brown lol
Most surprising moment: The lovely end to Sergeant Jackrum’s story in Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
Best prose: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
Book you’ll be recommending: The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
Fav newly discovered author: Martha Wells! Martha Wells!
Fav cover: Beowulf: A New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley
Made you cry: None, unless I cheat and say Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas (good tears)
Made you laugh: The Affair of the Mysterious Letter by Alexis Hall
Fav reread: El Ladrón del Rayo (The Lightning Thief) by Rick Riordan (do second language rereads count? It was my first Spanish audiobook!)
Most surprising 5 star: The Last True Poets of the Sea by Julia Drake (not my usual fave genre - but a fantastic book is a fantastic book!)
Least fav overall: The Dog Stars by Peter Heller

The last stack of my top reads of the first half of 2018. Mostly thrillers - except for Us Against You, which is an excellent follow up to Beartown (even with a slow start) and another book in the running for my book of the year - The Trouble with Goats and Sheep. A great year for books so far! #toptenreads #thetroublewithgoatsandsheep #wtrgreviews #bookstagram #bookshelf #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #booklover #bookish #bookreview #bookclub #novel #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookcover #bookhaul #bibliophile #goodreads #homelibrary #bradslibrary #fiction #crimefiction #thriller (at Ballentine, South Carolina)

So many great reads this year. Too many for one photo. So these are my top #BOTM reads. They’re all very different, but indicative of the great choices you get each month. The Philosopher’s Flight by Tom Miller is in the running to be my favorite read of the year. All of these are excellent, entertaining reads. #toptenreads #bookofthemonth #thephilosophersflight #tommiller #thegreatalone #theoracleyear #littlehouseseverywhere #thechalkman #otherpeopleshouses #bookstagram #bookshelf #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #bookish #bookreview #bookclub #novel #bookaddict #bookhaul #bibliophile #goodreads #contemporaryfiction #homelibrary #bradslibrary #fiction #crimefiction #thriller (at Ballentine, South Carolina)
