Blog Hiatus is Over

Hi everyone! I’m back! Life got really busy with my job, and I found it hard to keep up with my blog posts. So, I’m going to make a goal of posting to my blog at least three times a week and updating you with my reading, job happenings, and anything else I feel like you might be interested in.

In 2021, I completed 74 books for the year! That was 19 less than 2020, but with the quarantining, there was way more time to read then. I’ll let you know some of my favorite reads from 2021 in case you need some reading suggestions!

  1. Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
  2. Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano
  3. All About Us by Tom Allen
  4. Before the Ever After by Jacqueline Woodson
  5. The Ex Talk by Rachel Lynn Solomon
  6. People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
  7. Yes, and I Love You by Roni Loren
  8. Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
  9. The Shape of Thunder by Jasmine Warga
  10. Amber & Clay by Laura Amy Schlitz
  11. Fallout by Steve Sheinkin
  12. Star Fish by Lisa Fipps
  13. The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer
  14. Too Bright to See by Kyle Lukoff
  15. Just Like That by Gary D. Schmidt

Most of these were 5 star reads for me. There’s a mixture of adult, teen, and middle grade novels on this list. No matter what age you are, I recommend these books to everyone! I can’t wait to see what year 2022 reading unfolds!

I’ll check back with a few reviews from books I’ve already completed this year. I’ll go ahead an plug it here. The middle grade book The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera is already one of my favorite middle grade books I’ve ever read! Stay tuned!

Until next time…Have a good one! Take care! Happy reading!
