Reading is my comfort, my go to when I am stressed. So I read a lot to escape the crazy of the outside world.
When I was teaching at the beginning of 2021, I definitely was more focused on reading what my students were reading and professional development. But within the cracks I still fit in a book or two.
Then summer hit and I was free to read to my heart's content.
So here is my list of 22 (well, really 23) of my favorites for the year! These all get 4 or 5 stars out of 5 for me and are not in any particular order:
- Little Fires Everywhere
- Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From
- The Fountains of Silence
- Everything I Never Told you
- Out of the Easy
- Things That Grow
- Shadow and Bone/Six of Crows
- Last Chance Books
- Somewhere Between Bitter and Sweet
- Fangirl
- Snow Like Ashes
- The Hawthorne Legacy
- To Hell with the Hustle
- Spin the Dawn
- Salt to the Sea
- A Cross-Country Christmas
- The Upside of Falling
- The Christmas Bookshop
- The Guest List
- The Lazy Genius Way
- The Library of Lost Things
- Live in Love
Stay tuned for more on each book here this week. :)
