2021 was a stellar year for me personally, but also a very busy and tumultuous one.
Reading wise, I have definitely discovered some new favourites and this post is narrowing down the 225 books I read in total to just my top 21.
These are in no particular order and all really found a place in my heart this year. I’ve also linked to either my review or their Goodreads page, so you can find out more about these fantastic books.
