Top 10 Tuesday — Best Books Read in 2021

28 Dec

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!

    When Twilight Breaks sounds interesting, so much so that I’ve added it to my TBR.

    It IS very hard to narrow down! Memories of Glass made my top twelve (couldn’t narrow it down to ten), too.
