Sophie, over at Beware of the Reader is hosting Blogmas: best reads of 2021! I’m joining in and sharing some of my favorites too! Enjoy ♥
Day 1: Romance
Amazon I Goodreads I Review
Wallflower was impossible not to devour in one sitting! This story swept me away and the pages were filled with charm, humor and romance. I loved that the story line was so much fun and that I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling. I even cried a few tears, happy and sad. And that ending?! It made my heart so happy. If you’re a fan of young adult romance, characters that will embed themselves into your heart and kissing that will make you swoon, then this is a must for your tbr!

Day 3: New to Me Author
Amazon I Goodreads I Review
The Things We Leave Unfinished was an emotional powerhouse that quickly enraptured my heart. The story was hauntingly beautiful and I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these characters. This is easily one of my top favorite reads of the year. If you love romance, epic love stories and characters that will easily steal pieces of your heart, you definitely need this book in your life!
✮✩✮✩✮✩✮✩✮
Day 6: Fantasy
Amazon I Goodreads I Review
The Crown of Gilded Bones was an epic continuation of the From Blood and Ash Series! Betrayals, lies, and secrets wove their way through this book. While friendship, love and trust were there too. I loved how it all came together and created a story that was stunningly brilliant and magnificently crafted!
✮✩✮✩✮✩✮✩✮
Day 8: Plot Twist
Amazon I Goodreads I Review
The twists were brilliant! There was so much at play, the story played out ingeniously and my mind was blown. I gasped out loud multiple times, screamed and kept whispering to myself this isn’t how the story was supposed to go. I didn’t see multiple things coming. But looking back, ohhhhhh the clues were there, I just put the pieces of the puzzle together wrong. So hold on, because this story will take you on a wild and crazy ride!
✮✩✮✩✮✩✮✩✮
Day 9: Funny Yet Thoughtful
Amazon I Goodreads I Review
This book snuck up on me and became my every thought. It was heartwarming yet powerful. Hilarious yet serious. And I loved every single minute of it! With a grumpy and sunshine vibe, fabulous banter, heartwarming friendships and steamy scenes, this book swept me away. The characters stole my heart, the story line played out like a movie and I loved every single thing about this book!
✮✩✮✩✮✩✮✩✮
Day 10: Series
Amazon I Goodreads I Review
Grace and Glory was a stunning conclusion to The Harbinger Series! With tears, laughter, friendship and love splashed across the pages, this book was such a huge win! If you’re a fan of Jennifer L Armentrout or paranormal stories then you definitely need this series in your life!
I love your choices Jen!!
Thank you so much, Sophie!
This is fun. I think I’d have a hard time figuring out books for the categories though. haha

Right?! I wrote down all of the categories and then started going through Goodreads for all the books I’ve read this year. That helped a ton phew!
I only read Wallflower, but it was really cute. The hero was everything for me in that book

Yessssss, I loved Dare so much too!
The Things We Leave Unfinished will likely end up being the best book of the year for me. Certainly in the top 3. I love Rebecca Yarros and feel like that one was her best yet!

Yes! It was EVERYTHING! I can’t wait to see what your other two books will be.
I love this idea of really separating out all the different books for blogmas, maybe I’ll do this next year. I liked both Grace and Glory as well as Wallflower myself!
