We have passed the mid mark of 2021! I am loving 2021 so far – I have been reunited with most of my family (hopefully the rest soon!), have done a little traveling (mostly in state) and have a few more trips on the horizon. And I have read some great books! I decided to be a little more intentional this year and try to plan some of what I would read each month. This has definitely helped me stick to reading great books – however I am behind and a few that are unplanned do sneak in here and there. I am also much more selective in the early releases that I request as they tend to derail me. The result: I have more great reads than ever so far this year. I recently passed book #50 and at least half were good books! Here are my top ten favorites that I have read so far in 2021. And because there were so many good ones, I have listed 11-20 at the bottom too!
