Top Ten Books I Read in 2021

I'm linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl for another Top Ten Tuesday.

It's time to share my favorite reads of the year! I'm honestly not 100% confident I'm not going to finish another 5-star (or 4.5-star) read in the last few days of the year, but oh well, here we are! This year I'm not splitting by fiction and nonfiction because most of my 5-star reads this year were either rereads or chapter books, which I'm not including here, so I actually didn't have a lot to pick from. Here are my ten favorites of the year. To read more about why I liked them, you can search for them on the blog or check out my Goodreads! (Psst: To see my favorite read every month, I encourage you to check out — and link up with — the Best of the Bunch linkup.)
