Hey, guys!
It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for a bookish favorites post. Top 5 Tuesday is hosted by Meeghan over on Meeghan Reads and is quite simple: check out the topic and write a post with your picks.
For this year’s final T5T post, we’re talking about some books I really enjoyed in 2021. I tried my best to not be repetitive, so some of the books I liked best this year are not on this list, because I already talked about them on last week’s list of authors I discovered in 2021!
#1 Sanctuary
This one came out of nowhere, I knew nothing about this book and I was *so* surprised. The worldbuilding fascinated me, the story was gripping. I can wholeheartedly recommend this novel!
#2 The Dying of the Light
This year I finished reading the first run of Skulduggery Pleasant novels. The entire series was really good with The Dying of the Light concluding the story. Since I tremendously enjoyed the journey, we need to include it here!
#3 Pride and Prejudice
After seeing memes about it on tumblr for nigh on 10 years, I finally caved in and read Pride and Prejudice. It was the first Jane Austen novel I ever picked up and it was so much better than I had expected. Seriously, I didn’t think it would be so funny or relatable!
#4 Rule of Wolves
Any Leigh Bardugo book is a good book, I think we all can agree on that. I was really excited for Rule of Wolves to come out, and then it took me forever to actually pick it up. While it is not my all-time favorite Bardugo novel, it was a great time nevertheless!
#5 Rebecca
Another book I meant to read for years. 2021 was the year to check it out and I was extremely surprised how well the story holds up, how relevant it still is and how forward some of the topics were.

I had Rule of Wolves in my honorary mentions for this year — Bardugo’s Grishaverse is amazing, and I love it. I’m also so glad you loved Pride and Prejudice!! I hope you read more of her books, they’re all amazing. Great list and thanks for joining us this year!! ❤️
