I wasn’t going to do a yearly favorites post but then I realized I did dedicated posts the last two years and I want to continue the tradition! I’m incapable of choosing real favorites, so here’s a chaotic, non-comprehensive list of books I loved in 2021: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Memoir: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Broken Horses Sitting Pretty Featherhood ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nonfiction: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Anthropocene Reviewed How the Word is Passed Matrimony, Inc. Eating Animals Catch and Kill ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ SciFi: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Illuminae, by virtue of the fact that it was the only sci-fi I read this year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Romance: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a dedicated post for this a couple posts back! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Poetry: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What Kind of Woman White Blood Home is Not a Country Deaf Republic ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ YA: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Frankly in Love We Are Okay The Serpent King Monday’s Not Coming Everyone Dies Famous in a Small Town ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Audiobooks: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Their Eyes Were Watching God Broken Horses Punching the Air ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Misc: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Exit West Homegoing ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ID: The top half of a book cart filled with paperback and hardcover books. All are books I read this year; most are books mentioned above, except for the YA books, which live in my classroom. via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CYHBmJbLVVN/
