2021 Wrap-up

This is a LOOSE ranking of every book I finished in 2021.

Some have been accidentally flip-flopped, but overall, the highest rating novels are at the top. I think there’s about a dozen missing or forgotten about so check my reviews page under Cassie Swindon’s blog to read individual reviews. Do you agree with my ratings? What was your favorite book of 2021? What are you most excited to read in 2022?
