The Year in Reading: Best Books of 2021
4:49 PMI know what you're thinking: long time no post. I'll spare you the theatricals but, guess who's back-ish? Life is chaotic. We are just a few months over the one year mark of me not updating Booked J. And what a weird year it has been. I thought 2020 was a hellacious fever dream of a year but 2021 really said, "Hold my beer." From the good things, like going back to school for Industrial and Organizational Psychology and losing 70 lbs., to the bad things, such as my Grandmother's passing in December or the non-cancerous ovarian cysts I had in the spring, 2021 was truly a ride.
The good news? You'll have to pry my books from my cold dead hands. I can only hope that the universe doesn't see that and say, "Challenge accepted." That being said, though the year was an eventful one--I still was able to get some reading done and fell, as always, in love with the word's of another. Usually, my best of lists focus only on recently released novels but in 2021's list I am including books that were also just new-to-me.
Let's dive into it, shall we?
