I read a lot less books in 2021 than I did in previous years. Some of that was by design, and some was because, well, life. But fewer books did not mean less enjoyment — I had a lot of great reading experiences! Limiting my list to 10 is too hard, so I have split the books into categories: historical, time-split, contemporary and suspense. There should be something for everyone!

So many great books on your list! I loved Tom Threadgill and When Twilight Breaks. https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/12/top-ten-tuesday-cover-love.html
It IS very hard to narrow down! Memories of Glass made my top twelve (couldn’t narrow it down to ten), too.
All of her books are great!
