A few days ago I started reading The Midnight Library which has gotten amazing reviews and a lot of you were saying it was your favorite book from 2021! So I ended up asking you all over stories (thanks to one of your ideas) what your favorite books have been over the past year! Here is a list of the recommendations you all sent if you’re looking for a new book to read – no particular order and all sorts of genres. Also, Goodreads is a great place to see a quick summary and review of any book. Ps. The ones with * came up more than once.
