When I started going through all my 5 star reads for 2021, I was pleasantly surprised that of the 141 books I've read as of this moment, I had well over 40 that were 5 star reads.

I've managed to narrow the list down further by focusing on 24 5 star titles that were all published in 2021. So, here are my absolute favorite reads of 2021! Contemporary: The Continue Reading

I basically blazed a trail through the sub-genre and kept going back for more. Here are some of the Continue Reading
