My 12 Favorite Fiction Reads of 2021

It was actually hard to narrow this end-of-year list down to just twelve books. I could easily have done a list of twenty favorites, or more. I read a lot of good books this year, which means that several books I really liked did not make it onto this list. So, in no particular order, here are the books that did (with links to my original reviews):

1.  The Girl With the Louding Voice by Abi Dare

2. The Big Finish by Brooke Fossey

3. The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller

4. Nothing Short of Wondrous by Regina Scott

5. Six Wakes by Mur Lafferty

6. Deception Cove by Owen Laukkanen

7. The Stranger Times by C.K. McDonnell

8. A Dark Lure by Loreth Anne White

9. The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

10. The Right Sort of Man by Allison Montclair

11.  The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin

12. The Future is Yours by Dan Frey

Honorable Mention: A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park

(Which I got to read with a fun group of 4th graders who loved it, too.)

Happy Reading!
