2021 Book Haul | Blogmas 2021: Day 25

Merry Christmas and welcome to the final post of Blogmas 2021!! I’m quite happy that I actually managed to complete Blogmas this year given how little preparation I was able to do ahead of time and for my last post, I thought I would share a quick glimpse of all the books I added to my shelves this year.

I am going to be on hiatus for the next week and will be taking the time to relax and recharge from the crazy year, and of course, also read more books in line with my 2022 goal of staying ahead in my reading. There are a few of my routine posts scheduled in the next week, but I will not be back on the blog until the new year, so wishing everyone a Happy New Year ahead of time!

Best of 2021 | Blogmas 2021: Day 20

Welcome to Day 20 of Blogmas 2021! It’s finally time to share the post I have been adding to all year – my best of shelf picks for 2021! My regular readers will know that I rarely rate a book above 4 stars and even fewer of those make this list. Of the 150+ books I’ve read so far this year, I’ve chosen 11 for this list – a slightly higher ratio than usual, but these books were simply too good to leave any out.

As a reminder of the criteria I use for this list, the book has to be published in the same year, I should have given it a rating of 4 stars or higher, with something that I felt made it stand out over the other books. The titles are just in publication order this year because if I started trying to rank them, this post would still be in my drafts. Without further ado, let’s check out my favorite books of 2021!

Most Awaited Releases – Winter 2022 | Blogmas 2021: Day 16

Welcome to Day 16 of Blogmas 2021! Another year is winding down, the holiday season is almost here, and one of my favorite things to do at this time of year is put together my TBR for the winter.
