Top Ten (or Twenty-Three) Reads of 2021

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and That Artsy Reader Girl. If you're wondering why this post is a few days late, it's because I have spent all week playing Assassin's Creed: Origins. I have a vague plan to play through all three of the most recent games in order, though Odyssey and Valhalla might have to wait until summer break. When not playing video games, these were some of the great books I read this year! To see everything I loved, check out the Best of 2021 page! These are roughly in order of when I read them, not how much I loved them.

If you can't tell, it was hard to pick just ten books! I majorly slowed down on reading toward the end of the year, so it's nice to look back and see all the books I loved. Do any of my books show up on your lists? Did I miss something your adored? Let me know in the comments!
