I love joining in with Anne’s (Books of My Heart) Top 10 posts to recap the year. Get all the details in her Top 10 of 2021 post and join in!
Top 10 Books of 2021
Since tomorrow is top 10 Audiobooks of 2021, I’m interpreting this as print reads of 2021. And since I only read 25 books published in 2021, I choose to do the books I read in 2021 regardless of when they were published. I also read 3x more audio than print, so this was a very hard list for me to make. That being said, here are my top 10 reads of 2021 (links are to my reviews):
- The Nightengale by Kristen Hannah (5 stars)
- These Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner (5 stars)
- Uprooted by Naomi Novik (4.5 stars)
- The Archived by Victoria Schwab (4.5 stars)
- Romancing the Duke by Tessa Dare (4.5 stars)
- In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren (4 stars)
- Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (4 stars)
- Prison Planet Barbarian by Ruby Dixon (4 stars)
- Say Yes to the Marquess by Tessa Dare (4 stars)
- The Choosing by Rachelle Dekker (3.5 stars)
It was interesting to me that the bulk of my great reads for the year were chosen for me – either as part of the My TBR List meme or as part of COYER Book Club. And the two that were either COYER Buddy Reads or a COYER Recommendation. Guess you all have been guiding me well this year!!

I loved Uprooted. I am glad to see you did too! In a Holidaze was a fun read. 🙂 I haven’t read any of the other books on your list, but many (most) are on my TBR pile or wish list already. I am now even more eager to read them since you liked them so much, Berls. I hope you have a great year of reading in 2022!
I haven’t read any of these but several are on my TBR. Especially the Tessa Dare books and the Naomi Novik.
I love Tessa Dare! 🙂
While I haven’t read any of these because we read different kinds of books, I have seen a few of them on other blogs and some of them do sound good to me.
I haven’t read any of these, although I have the audiobook of Hail Mary to listen to in 2022.
I love that you “read” primarily audio books. My mind wanders when I am listening to a book.
It’s been several years since I read The Nightingale and I still find myself thinking about it now and then. That one was truly unforgettable.
That’s neat how the COYER book club and your vote books turned out to be such gems for you. I’ve got a few of your picks on my Wish List/TBR Pile so I’m even more excited for them.
I loved Uprooted! I listened to audio though. It was my very first Audible purchase.
Looks like some goodies!
This is such a great list! Romancing the Duke is one of my favorite books too. 😍
