So here we have it. The full and final #bookvent2021 countdown, featuring my top reads that were published within the year. I could have carried this list on well into the new year if I am honest, and if I get a chance I’ll try and post some of my other favourites, published across various years (I had a lot of catch up this year). I have to be honest, I’ve had a great year this year and been fortunate to have read some amazing books. Perhaps not as many as in previous years, and certainly not read as quickly, but it’s quality not quantity that counts. So what were my faves this year? Well, in case you missed any of my daily posts, the links are all below, along with my lovely graphics (well I think they are anyway 😉).

There we have it – twenty four days, twenty six absolutely amazing books. Did any make your list?
I’m planning on taking a wee blog break now until January (at the moment). Lots of books to read and reviews to catch up on ready for the new year. All that remains is to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See you on the other side.
