I’ve always been a bit flighty in my book choices, reading anything and everything that caught my eye (I will always pick up a bright pink cover). This year, however, I read more by recommendation than by blind intuition and was introduced to incredible indie authors and new book genres, such as linked collections and novels-in-verse. There’s a world of reading out there, and I humbly submit my picks for Favorite Reads of 2021 in hopes of inspiring further travels in your own reading journey.
