top ten tuesday: best books I read in 2021.

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week’s topic is Best Books I Read in 2021. At the time of writing this post, I’ve read 56 books this year. I couldn’t come up with the 10 best books that I read in 2021, but I do have 6 that are my favorite so far.

1. The Last Flight by Julie Clark.
I gushed about this book to a couple friends when we were talking about good books we had read and would recommend. I thought it was interesting and made me think. Read my review here.

2. Love Lettering by Kate Clayborn.
The first book I read in 2021 and it remains one of my favorite. I loved that the main character was into planners and calligraphy and organization. This book really brought a smile to my face. Review my review here.

3. The Runner by Stephen Leather.
I really liked this MI5/spy book. I looked to read more books by this author but he seems to concentrate on writing a series. Read my review here.

4. The Last Watch by J.S. Dewes.
One of the best science fiction books I read this year. I loved the characters and I loved the plot. I’m sad that this series only appears to have had 2 books in it and now there are no more to read. Read my review here.

5. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.
I still think about this book and its ending. The more I think about the ending, the more I like it and think that it was the best way to finish the book. Read my review here.

6. Battle Royal by Lucy Parker.
This book was super cute! It had lots of baking and baking competitions and I really liked the love story. Read my review here.

Those are my top reads of 2021!
