the BEST books I read in 2021 📚

[@allisonpaiges]

you've sold me so hard on the nevermoor trilogy i went to the shop asking for the complete box set but they only had the first so i didn't go for it because you've made me so confident that i want to read all of them so i'm waiting patiently for all 3

[@leoraaileen]

Ally hahahahaha o my god that is true dedication. I love those books so hope you do too! 💕💕

[@PrettyPurplePolkaDots]

Hope you're feeling better after your operation! I definitely agree with Everything I Know About Love. I gave it to a friend after her break up and she really found some strength in it. 💛

[@leoraaileen]

That is so wonderful! It’s just a really great read altogether 💕

[@percydoeseverything]

Holly Bourne writes really good mental health themed books. Honestly, I wish they were around when I was a teen. I could've learned so much early on!

[@leoraaileen]

Same! So insightful and yet funny at the same time

[@vanessabonilla8339]

Love that you’re back and feeling better! 💕 a fave from last year and think you’d like is finlay donovan is killing it (a murder mystery/comedy), also loved these violent delights and the jasmine throne!

[@leoraaileen]

Thank you! Glad to be back too! 🧡 these violent delights is also still on my tbr list

[@shaunaXX]

Honestly hilarious cuz before this I watched someone’s worst books of the year and it had Malibu rising in it and then it’s in your faves. This is why I love books tbh cuz everyone likes different things

[@leoraaileen]

Hahah oh my god! But yes that’s what makes reading so cool, there’s something out there for everyone

[@nathanponnan6081]

What are you guys reading rn ? I'm currently reading "Alone in Berlin" by Hans Falada

[@Lillyjoy]

I'm reading Nevermoor right now and I really like it, so it makes me hopeful that I will continue to like it since you put the 3rd book in this video! My favorites of last year were The Secret Garden on 81st Street (middle grade graphic novel), Truly Devious (YA mystery), and The Night Circus (fantasy with beautiful writing)

[@leoraaileen]

I adore truly devious and the night circus so this makes me think I should maybe check out the secret garden 🤔🧡

[@Lillyjoy]

Yes! Please check it out, I haven’t heard anyone talking about it and it’s so good and worth more attention :)

[@WordWonders]

I really need to get on the Robin Hobb bandwagon, everyone loves her books and i'm getting FOMO haha. I also have been seeing Dolly Alderton a lot recently and i'm intrigued.

[@leoraaileen]

I love robin Hobbs books! All her series are so intricate and interesting 💕🥰

[@AbiofPellinor]

Wordslut sounds so cool and I really need to pick up the Nevermoor books! I had a really good reading year last year, my best book overall (using CAWPILE) was All Systems Red by Martha Wells!

[@leoraaileen]

Oooh I’ve never heard of that one! and yes both wordslut and nevermoor are so cool

[@AbiofPellinor]

@@leoraaileen It's the first book in the Murderbot Diaries and so much fun!

[@badfaith4u]

Hope you feel better. 📚🔖

[@leoraaileen]
