Books I Read in 2021

Heya diamonds!

Now that it’s a new year, I have a lot of wrap-up posts to do! Today, I’ll be recapping all the books I read in 2021. Spoiler alert? I read a lot.

I’m going to be doing this a bit differently than last year. In the first half of this post, I’ll share some stats, some of my favorite books, that sort of thing. And then in the second half, I’ll just list every single book I read…no thoughts or anything. I think this will make it more interesting for the both of us!
